"Undocumented Features!!!!"  Of course!!! I should have guessed.   I remember
many the many joys of spending HOURS late into the night (One time I stayed up
to 4:45 a.m.) discovering and mentally documenting the undocumented features in
a couple of BASIC programs I wrote.  Another great joy is upgrading from one
system version to another.  Boy when I did that, I found all sorts of
undocumented features.  What joy!!!  Well, I guess that may be the reason Tandy
finally dropped the M102.... it's so simple to use that there wasn't enough
undocumented features to remain competative in the market considering the
quality of commercial software  (and yes, I figured out that in the 10 years
since I first plugged in the BASIC Language pack into my sister's new Atari 400
I have spent THOUSANDS of Big Bucks as well as a lot of Chicken Feed on a lot
of undocumented feature software which often turned out to be a lot of Bull
Puckeys.)
