If you don't have GOTO loops, how do you leave infinite print loops running on the demo TRS-80's at the local Radio Shack?



Such nostalgia! I used to make fake dos prompts that would do strange things to commands that looked almost right. I was such a little twerp.


This was even more fun at a place like Sears or K-Mart where the sales folk were generally less technically savvy than Radio Shack.


  10 PRINT “foo”
  20 RUN


while True: print "Welcome to RS"


If only 14-yr-old me had known that in 1978!


;)
