Our Commodore VIC20 came with a big book/manual which mostly taught you how to code. Was an awesome time.
Yeah the “OS” was essentially a basic interpreter and simple editor. I remember that book.
And trying to save your program on a cassette that would give you an error after 30 minutes.
Save? A program? What kind of magic is this?
Veronica Explains has a great video on how manuals used to actually be great resources.
Manuals still are fantastic when available.
