This recalls to mind one of the first programs I typed into a computer of my own (although I'd been writing programs on school computers for a few years at this point). I had just gotten an Atari 8-bit computer (1200XL) on clearance. I didn't yet have a tape or disk drive, so I couldn't do anything really significant with it. But what I did do was to go back into my computer magazine archives and type in "Christmas Tree", a program written by Joey Latimer and published in Family Computing magazine in its December, 1983 issue.
