Do you feel you have outgrown media sources or discontinued them for other reasons?

    I’m not sure exactly when it happened, but at some point I stopped receiving that magazine.

    There was always a section called “BASIC Training” that had a bunch of source code in BASIC. They wouldn’t tell you what it did. You had to try and guess what it did, then type it into your computer to find out whether you were right. But I didn’t have a computer.

    In 1994 I finally got a computer, and immediately opened up the QBASIC interpreter and started typing it all in, to see what it did.

    Holy shit I just realized that’s 30 years ago this year.
