Oh, wow, I can't believe how quickly BASIC comes back. I spent a lot of time typing programs in at that prompt. I loved the hours I spent writing programs out on notebook paper, and I absolutely loathed typing them in. I always did, though. Seeing them run gave me a little thrill. (Not that I ever wrote a single program that I would have enjoyed using if it wasn't mine.) The best thing in the world was when my mother typed in a program for me, which she only did a few times when I was really, really sick.
Good times. I think I will now make a low-res snowman.
Whoa, Chromium 18 under Ubuntu doesn't work as well as Chrome on OSX does. 18 is ancient, so I can't really complain; this is just information. I got visual artifacts until I deselected "Use WebGL." Now everything displays fine, but I can't type quote marks or commas. When I type ' or " I get ^. When I type , I get <. On OSX, I know I could type double quotes and commas. For what it's worth, I'm using Dvorak under both Linux and OSX.
