Apple II Hi-res 10 PRINT *or* Robin vs. Applesoft BASIC
Discovering yet another 10 PRINT variant, this time for the Apple II by Lee Fastenau, we drag the Apple IIc away from the beach and back to the plywood. After some b-roll ranting, we discuss some of the quirks of the Applesoft BASIC editor, and go about entering the program. Several attempts at improving the program are made, but they don't amount to much, despite great perseverance with the editor. In the end, maybe we learn it's about the journey, not the destination.
