File this one under small things that get inside my head for no real reason. This one grabbed me whilst I was in the shower and just wouldn’t let go.
Now, bearing in mind that I definitely have the geek gene, it almost makes sense that I read this as if it says:
10 PRINT "HELLO"
20 GOTO 10
I am having mild flashbacks and my head rather hurts. The first computer program you ever learn as a junior nerd in the early eighties is a horrible infinite loop and on any home computer that wasn’t invented by the great Sir Clive Sinclair you are stuck.
At least on the good old Spectrum it would fill up one screenful and then ask "break?". And you’d say "yes please", and life would go on.
