The first program I ever wrote in BASIC was (drumroll, please):
10 GOTO 10

LOL! Well I guess it has the advantage of being 'bug free'. :-) I
Not so. Both of the above programs produced an error message on one of
the machines here. A machien that has a BAISC interpretter in ROM. The
problem is that the HP9830 BASIC (and others I guess) _require_ an END
as the last statement of the program.
find myself tempted to turn on my Commodore 64 and try
it.
BTW, I'm quite happy to report that as part of the project to redo my
darkroom, I've set my Commodore 64 back up (yes, in the darkroom
area). In fact part of the time I was supposed to be working on the
Darkroom last Saturday I was actually playing a game on the C64. :-)
Are you planning on using the C64 as an enlarger timer or soemthing? IIRC
'Cotnrol the World with HPIL' has an enlarger meter/timer based on one of
the hP handhelds (HP41?)
One of Thomas Tomosy's books on camera repair has a chutter testing timer
based on a C64 with a photosensoe conencted ot the joystick port.
