    Thank you, kindly. I’ve heard that manuals where fun to use (sarcasm). Unfortunately, I am old enough to remember those days, but wasn’t fortunate enough to own or even be able to witness such gems in real life.

      It was fun to learn how things work, and when things worked as planned (finally). It’s when they didn’t work that got annoying and frustrating, and with assembly language with basically no error codes or any help, it was just…nope, that wasn’t right. Maybe followed by cycling the computer off and on because it locked up. Still have my old Mapping the Commodore 64 book on the shelf. Huge resource.
