I grew up with C= 64 basic and knew no other version of it. You soon floated into hardware handling and understanding 6510 architecture by necessity, but in retrospect I find it peculiar that the "native" number format was floating point and not integer, and that there was not a clear distinction in when, where and how to use those different formats.

But I did hate magazine listings with all those print codes that gave you a headache. That one was all on C= though.
