Oh so true about looking at old Bytes and PE. I have been reading them every day for quite a few years now, as well as RE.
I too still have all my old Byte, Dr.Dobbs, REMark, Sextant, QST, etc. magazines, and often go on "archeological digs" for information and entertainment.
I recently got interested in VTL (Very Tiny Language), which was a competitor for Tiny BASIC back in the 1970's. It really *is* tiny... 768 bytes! Yet it's both faster and more memory efficient than BASIC. Mike Riley wrote a version of it for the 1802, and last night I was using it to run some old VTL programs from the 1970's. Great fun. :-)
