[LINK] Aust. Personal Computer Nov 1981

[Chirgwin, Richard]

Tony,

One of the bits of history that travels with me from house to house, but
rarely gets unpacked from its box, is a particular copy of 80-Micro
magazine. It's got the first "ski run"-style arcade game I remember seeing -
the game won a competition for "best game that can be written in a single
line of Basic". It fitted in 255 bytes. They don't program like >that< any
more!

I had that Forth. A wonderful extensible language. Reverse Polish 
Notation running off a stack like HP calculators came natural to it. 
Might still have the cassette tape it came on somewhere.  I've still 
got the TRS-80 which I bought in 1978.

I've also still got a lot of magazines from that era. Why remembers 
"Byte","Kilobaud" and "TRS-80 Computing"?
