Coding from magazines.... In fact, that's how I learned how to program (other than the school homework) in BASIC, PASCAL, Assembly, etc. It was great to look at an article, and see the listing that was made for a PET, or an ALTAIR, or Commodore and try to make it work for a TRS-80, and then later Apple ][. I would spend HOURS typing, testing, and retyping. I found the hard way that I had to SAVE before testing, when there was a POKE statement that was machine specific, and it would kill the computer(freeze) or restart it... Live and learn.
