C64 was super finicky about syntax.  Trash 80 was easiest to get along
with.  IMO. : )

I burned up a floppy drive on the school's Trash 80 while cracking
somebody's password.  I still remember it.  DJ! lol. Took 3 weekends
to get it, too.  Darn janitors kept turning off the machine on Friday
night.

Generating random numbers on TI computer required "randomize"
command to generate a psuedo random sequence of numbers, which could
be
used by RND.  

CoCo was pointless without extended color basic.  Always saved to tape
in ASCII, so I could recover partial programs if needed.  Prolly can
remember the POKE to turn screen orange, or double operating speed, if
I think hard enough. Made a pulse phone dialer by running the phone
line through the tape recorder control relay.  Musta called every
house in town before I got the pulse timing figured out.

Funny, I've still got the manual for that machine kicking around. 
Come to think of it, I've still got the machine.
