Wow good to see some programming... makes me want to take up learning   
   more basic on my Atari 800... or assembly.   
      
      
      
      
   -> GG>I think all and all the Commodore (both C-64 and Amiga) were decen   
   -> computers.   
   ->   
   -> GG>I have a few.  :)   
   -> The thing about the Amiga is, there was different modals.  I   
   -> remember folks that where big fans of the Amiga's often touted the   
   -> Amiga's features.  Don't get me wrong, even the cheapest Amiga's was   
   -> good for what it could do and all, but They'd brag about the way the   
   -> high end Amiga's could do Video Editing and make comercials and all,   
   -> then in the same sentence say you could pick up an Amiga for (and   
   -> then quote the price of the low-end Amiga's) in the same sentence...   
   ->  When mentioning the low end Amiga's that where in the price range   
   -> they quoted, they'd say "Oh no, those Amiga's are junk, I don't   
   -> consider them an Amiga!"  I didn't know as much about the Amiga's as   
   -> I did on the Commodores.  Learning Assembly Language from a book a   
   -> friend let me borrow helped a lot!  Later picking up several Machine   
   -> Language Monitors and Assemblers made even better.  I loved Fast   
   -> Assembler.  You write your program in Basic, like:   
   ->   
   -> 10 FOR T = 1 TO 3   
   -> 20 IF T = 3 THEN ORG 2048,1,8,"0:myprog,P"   
   -> 30 LDA #0   
   -> 40 STA 53280   
   -> 50 RTS   
   -> 60 NEXT T   
   ->   
   -> It'd do a 3-pass assembly and allow you to even embed eg. the 10 SYS   
   -> + address fairly easy that way... Kinda like the data commands,   
   -> which was why I loved Fast Assembler!  You could write programs that   
   -> looked like you compiled it in Basic Compilers, or write some really   
   -> funky code... Eg.   
   ->   
   -> 10 SYS 2060   
   -> (ml code stored here)   
   -> 20 SYS 2080   
   -> (ml code stored here)   
   -> 30 PRINT "Bye Bye!"   
   -> 40 END   
   ->   
   -> And have the program look like the above somewhat....
