Unless, I believe, one is going to tape/cart, in which case space
allocation is unnecessary.  Having to know how many units to allocate for
the output run of a new program has, at times, been a... challenge; it is
at the core of the Zen of Programming question of 'How large is an output
dataset?'

If it has never been the same then it would be rather difficult to learn
whether the change is plus or minus.

Only as long as it moves, even flaggingly.

Co-incidentally, that's the first rule of French cuisine:  If it moves,
eat it!

Were you never a child?

Kids who had the 60p rip-off of an Action Man (GI Joe) went to great

Childishness lasts a lifetime, but some people channel it better than
others.

The first person who asks what the sound of one flag waving is will be
sentenced to 72 hours of non-stop Dubya speeches.
