One student, having learned a tiny amount of BASIC, wrote this program: 10 PRINT "MR. BOND SUCKS MOOSE" 20 GO TO 10 Unfortunately, he hadn't learned the artful use of ^C, so he was getting pretty worried that Mr. Bond would show up as line after line after line printed "MR. BOND SUCKS MOOSE." My brother had some fun with him for a while by telling him, oh no we'll just have to wait until it runs out of paper. . . . . Mark mjanello@umich.edu '62 Kombi
