Master?
They said WYSIWG, so probably meant Archimedes [the very first ones in schools were BBC branded] [we know it was 32bit ahead of its time, but thinking something that old was 8bit is an understandable misunderstanding].
Edit: They said non-WYSWIG. I’m sure when I read it before it didn’t say that. So ignore the above.
Master?
Yes, that was it!
Ah, Econet.
That too. I do not remember that level of detail. I wish I could remember how I found all that stuff at the time.
Most nostalgic reference for me is Cougars' winsock TCP/IP stack floppies. That's when I started getting paid to make computers do things (as opposed to netware commands for finding jpgs on the Uni server network) and that was so fundamental to getting anything working.
Then along came Shockwave and Homestar Runner and Strongbad were born and web-based entertainment was more inclusive than just for 'gentlemen'.
Also available on Youtube, but no easter eggs or clicky bits.
There’s a bug in your code.
The semicolon wouldn't have helped, either. BASIC used a new line as a terminator. Pretty sure PRINT inserted a newline free of charge, too.
Our physics department at secondary school (early/mid-nineties) had a wave simulation programme on a BBC Micro. A previous teacher had programmed it and no-one else could write code so this one computer got wheeled around the various physics labs with the one technician who was able to turn it on, load and run the programme. If she happened to be off that day, the wave simulation programme couldn't run!
The computer lab though - that was top of the range:
