Way back in the mid 1970's I subscribed to Popular Electronics and
Radio-Electronics Magazines and there were many BASIC Programs in
those Monthly Magzines.
One Month, I saw a Program for the TRS-80 that drew a BIG Star image
on the monitor.
I had to try that one out, so I went to a Radio Shack store and
used their demo TRS-80 to type it in.
IIRC, the listing in the magazine needed me to edit one line
to make it draw the image just as I saw it on the front cover
of the magazine.
One friend had a TRS-80 and I called him to tell him about the edit
I made to the program.

August mentioned the Dove Net Programming echo, I will try there.
