Not at that price, no. Sorry.

Thanks very muchly, Dunny. I just had a skim of the manual, and after a brief "Hello World!"-esque mess about, the application itself seems to be exactly what I've been after. :D Top marks for the documentation, by the way - it's very thorough! I'm using the Windows build under WINE, as an...

I'd say the reason is because I actually have difficulty with picking up languages, as I said. I'm fairly sure that I actually know myself better than anyone else does. BASIC actually makes a great deal more sense, and is a great deal more readable to me, than Python or the like. That's why...

Thanks muchly, iprice. :D That clears up a lot of my confusion about variables. (I somehow got that "$" means "string", though I don't know when or where I picked that up.) Why is "?" used as a stand-in for PRINT, though?

It is funny how this doesn't also apply to the likes of Songs of Praise, though...

Hahaha, right-o. I thought that that only applied to the disk-drive add-on, not C64 BASIC itself. Yep, that does surely explain a lot of its bizarreness and counterintuitive points (such as the bizarre abbreviations, including being able to use a question mark in place of PRINT). :lol: Any...

I don't follow... :blink: Also... Having thought about it more... @ZeroOne - I hope you don't mind my asking, but why is it that you took my views to mean that I was seeing things in an all-or-nothing fashion due to bias, and seemingly not any of the others expressed in this thread?

Thanks guys! Unfortunately for me, after spending the last couple of hours messing with C64 BASIC in VICE, with the accompaniment of the original C64 manual, I'm now unsure how much use I could make of Petit Computer for programming from scratch, since I'm clearly cursed with being unable to...

Not crude enough to stop them from accepting millions of dollars in pledges, though. :P

Apology accepted. :) For the record, I wouldn't take a black-or-white view on something I've got no experience of, and certainly wouldn't view someone with a different view as "opposition". That is certainly quite an assumption... If you've not experienced such first-hand, perhaps it's a...

I did already disclose that I hold my views due to past experience. I wouldn't call real experience bias, though. I maintain that a lack of action when you're observing something like that is certainly not honourable, and, dare I say it, far from the right thing to do.

^ A variant on Advance Fee Fraud, yes, though not always from Nigeria. Scammers have communities all over the world. Typically, a romance-scammer will send out notes in scattergun fashion on websites with a social angle (primarily dating sites, but also Facebook and similar, and, occasionally...

It was a scamming script with known origins in West Africa. It's fairly unusual, but not unheard-of, for them to pop up on forums occasionally. I've seen a couple of these in my time.

It's a real shame that this is seen as causing a stir... It shouldn't be. Imagine yourself making those same points about yourself and people like you - would you see it as an attempt to cause a stir then? Well, let's see, getting death threats over video games on the basis of not having a...

You really read genuine concerns about the fact that the presentation of this device (a glossy video aimed at pushing gamers' buttons, and lots of hype, essentially) resembles investor-scams, such as the Phantom, as "hating"? There isn't one person in here hating on the device - any posts with a...

They were working through the alphabet! The reports we got covered people in the symbols (first in the members-list), A's, and B's range. As of yet, there haven't been any further reports, so I don't know how far into the alphabet they actually got.

I'm aware that earlier, we had a romance-scammer using two accounts to send out PMs to people. Thankyou, all of you, for the reports that you've sent. This topic is just to let you all know that it's been dealt with, and that both accounts have been eliminated (from what I can see, it looks...

There's already a pre-existing thread on this located here. Unfortunately, this new one doesn't seem to bring anything to the table that the other one (already an amalgamation of two different ones) hasn't already covered, so there doesn't seem to be much purpose in merging it with the other...

Nonsense! He's not wearing any shoes!
