And at our Show, finally enough people put their names down for CASBA to come into being.
13	The Micro Muse - "Shall I compare thee to a digital display..." [Article] Eric Finlay Computer poetry is a development of literacy specific to the second half of the present century.

These bodies need to keep up-to-date records of subscribers, members or customers who need servicing periodically and/or invoicing.
33	How to control your Basic functions [Article] Christopher Smith Basic can be infuriating: not so much that it is too simple a language but because of the simplicity of the input and output commands, which results in inflexibility.
