at the age of 12 I had figured out how to use the hex front-panel on  
the school 280Z to change all the basic keywords into 'alternatives'  
which I thought was very cool, I changed 'FOR' to 'LOOP' and stuff  
like that... except I forgot to reload BASIC from the cassette which  
meant that *nobody* could type out 'normal BASIC' until the CS  
teacher figured out the problem and re-loaded BASIC.... and kicked my  
butt big time next time she saw me in class!

Sigh... those were the days. then we upgrade to TWIN 360K floppies...  
tasm, texed, zasm, (sings: things ain't what they used to be....)
