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.
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 :)
