That sounds familiar zok, was that one that restarted it due to system variable corruption?

Some of you may asked if I still use the Spectrum.

Well, you know OOF has been running really slowly the last few days......

Poke 23659,0 that will fix it.

 

I steel remember my enthusiasm writing numerical analysis codes on commodore.. years later all those feelings lost unfortunately..

who knows.. may be payments for all those tiresome efforts were not satisfactory..

when I retire.. definitely I'll do something but not programming , definitely..

What you like at Perl?  The YaBB team are desperate for Perl coders who know databases

Nooooo

Seriously I can paint cars and I can shorten my path to other side but no more programming..

[cem_devecioglu]

nowadays I feel new people not interested with details.. they want everything quick..  even in my job..

so generally the results are a mess.. and they wonder why

programming is a very detailed job.. and companies dont care for the details.. they just pay a fix money.. and force people for a bodge job..

even in paint.. :-/

Sets the message area to zero lines so any status message such as pressing the break key causes a lock up.
Example of use (the display computers in Smiths etc)
10 poke 23659,0
20 Print "Your rude message here"
30 Goto 20

Hit enter and step back to watch the muppet assistant press break to remove the message and then panic as it locks with that strange electronic raspberry error sound.
Small things that used to keep us amused.

Ah, yes, happy days.

Of course I would never do such things. Never. Not me. Oh no. Good boy, me. Honest guv...

I still remember with fondness the virus I wrote for the school BBC micros. Installed itself in the sideways RAM and turned the display upside down after 255 key presses.

Was even more amusing when I went round and reversed the connections on the vertical deflection coils on all the monitors.

The poor old techie who used to get called in to sort them out again had a hard life.  [smiley=evil.gif]
