if, curious as I was, about the TATUNG Einstein and why use it. in the end having a separate system to edit/compile could save precious resources on the target machine for running the app without having to host the assembler and source code.
A friend of mine recently revealed that he had one of these in his attic.
I think we are going to have to try very hard to get it set up - and particularly, soon after, install all of these great development tools! We already have the rest of the machines .. ;)
I'm still wracked with guilt over an incident of wanton vandalism in 1984 when, as a child, I came across an Einstein on floor display in a store and promptly figured out how to reformat the boot floppy and basically killed their demo box.

Hopefully they had a backup? :(
10 PRINT "Van Halen kicks ass ";
20 GOTO 10
It was the 80s after all...
10 PRINT "CHAZ WOZ ERE " 20 GOTO 10
EVERY. ONE.
It was the nerd version of graffiti tagging. Definitely the first code I learned to write as a 5 year old kid :)
