Make sure to save it to disk or cassette so you don’t have to type it all again 😁

I got an Apple iie at an auction for 5$ only missing 4 keys was sitting in the rain. I dried it and plugged it in and it fired up no problems same screen but only one floppy drive

I was so confused at first lol. It's like the old manual that has an entry in the table of contents called infinite loop, which leads to the current page. Good one.

It remonds me all those nights typing codes in BASIC.

I always used to copy paste “start”in notepad thousands of times and save it as a batch file then change the icon to the internet explorer logo. Probably did this on dozens of school computers. People would click it then there would be a seemingly permanent loop of cmd prompt opening until the computer crashed

I'm a no lifer and I watch a lot of youtube shorts and I gotta say this is the best loop I've ever seen on one.

[AirDOGGe]

You are making me want to re-install BASIC on my PC.

[eggnoggtat]

Such a good loop I actually watched this 3 times… Bravo!

[mad_circuits]

I only got the joke when the loop ran through twice. 😂 Well done. I call it art.

[AR-jqhs]

I remember learning BASIC in that same model!

[BubuTheDev]

in Lua it's like:

while true do
end

[theguywiththewhiteblanket]

20 print "mama"
30 goto 10

Joe mama
