...or you could have been a rich kid like me and used a single cassette per program. (I didn't have a cassette player that could count seconds. We used these small dictation cassettes. Made handling them a little easier. Also for some reason these small cassetes were everywhere and easier to come by.) I even had a friend group where I was the typist to copy code from the latest zines because I would make the least amount of errors when transferring from paper to tape. Good times. You hit me right in my nostalgia with your comment.

Look at your rich ass with all those cassettes!

To be frank, we were already pretty good just having the damn Sinclair!
