C-16 was my gateway drug into coding

Be grateful you weren't learning BASIC on the C64 ๐
I pretty know what you mean. My next computer was a C-128. I was shocked, that so many commands were missing (in C64 mode / C128 basic was rich though) . But that just motivated me to start learning assembler XD
Yeah, I think the failings of C64 BASIC actually helped the take-up of 6502 code!
The C16 had a built-in monitor, I think I got as far as writing the code to display one character on screen and then gave up.
