# it made me hate macs MORE
i suffer with a pc because they're more powerful and cheaper. mac users should too.

also, because i break macs whenever i use them. THE EJECT BUTTON IS NEXT TO THE CD ROM FOR A REASON MAC. DON'T GO ALL BISCUIT ARSED JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T DRAG THINGS INTO THE BIN.

the only reason that these ads are considered funny is because HUHUHUHUHU MITCHELL AND WEBB HUHUHUHUHUHU

# I too would like to be a pedant...
..and point out this unnecessary line of coding.

Also, line 30 might equally read GOSUB CHANGE SCENE SETTING, taking the programme to a sub-routine elsewhere. But that might get my head stoved in for being a speccy twat.

Errr.... WOO!

But wondered if it was just BBC Mirco BASIC weirdness while I was used to Commodore BASIC.

I think BBC BASIC had procedures that you could just call by name, so if it said just CHANGE_SCENE_SETTING it could be valid.

# Wasn't
the crappiest in the Commodor line called a Vic 20 ? (with an almighty 3kb memory).
(Prince of Prance, Thu 8 Feb 2007, 8:40, archived)
# "crappiest"
All Commodore computers provided surprisingly good performance at their given price and the year of their release, mostly because Commodore owned the people who made the 6502 processor, and made their own custom chips, enabling them to offer significantly more computer power than most competitors for the same price. But, if that means "crappy", then you are forgetting the Commodore PET, which preceeded the VIC-20.

If you take year of release into account, the C16 is "crappiest" since it came out a couple of years AFTER the C64, has a quarter of the memory, and no sprites.
