bah! I spit on your shiny new commodore. *my* commodore was a vic-20 with 3.5k ram. Now that taught you how to control resources. buncha new-fangled whipper-snappers. seriously though, we used to max out that little machine. like this little trick. a '?' was shorthand for 'print' *and* it used less memory. but when you 'list'ed the line that contained it, the interpreter would expand the '?' into a 'print'. If you were really packing the code in, that would make you line longer than the 80 char max so you'dhave to go back in and convert all your 'print's back to '?'s. yeah. those were the days... A
