I love old tech books.
From Sony’s A Guide to MSX-BASIC Version 2.0, page 20: «(The blank space is made by hitting the space bar once.)»
Dude, you’ve already told us about PRINT, LET and arithmetic operations. What made you think we didn’t know how to type a space yet? Also, you didn’t say which key was the space bar.
@josemanuel Take some pics and show what you mean if you like!
Old pages might be interesting to look at in context... upto you
Now completely contradicting my previous post, I will say this: there should be a meme comparing old and current tech books. They would be like this:
Old tech books: «Since the Z80 uses NMOS technology, one is cautioned to become familiar with the rules for handling such devices before trying to handle the Z80 device. Those rules are actually very simple, so failing to follow them will net you what you deserve—a zapped IC.»
New tech books: «I will teach you this programming language assuming you barely know what a computer is.»
You can tell the first example is real (from Z80 Users Manual, by Joseph J. Carr) because the writing is terrible.
