Transcribing the AltairBASIC source, by hand, ten lines at a time

I'm manually transcribing the AltairBASIC source released by Bill Gates for fun and preservation's sake. I'm starting out with ten lines a day, but I'll be increasing or decreasing that if I feel like I need to do less or more. Not to be taken too seriously; I'm just doing this for fun! I'm not a programmer, just a nubbin with too much free time.

Double submission because I&#x27;m <i>fighting</i> with this laptop; I thought I deleted the old one, but I&#x27;m not sure.
