A Confession
Line 1070 was artificially injected into this conversation to illustrate some of the
problems the rebel character codes can cause. We’re playing for real now, so
change line 1070 to:
1070 DATA 44,-12,0,64,112,120,124,127,127,15,7,67,99,51,3,
63,123,71,3,3,71,123,63,3,51,99,67,7,15,127,127,
124,120,112,64
and RUN.
Figure 6-5
Ah SO! Is it a picture of the MX-70 design engineer? Turned up-side down it
looks like a flying saucer.
To see the final picture we have to type a few more lines. (Think of it as the
price of greatness.)

Whew! Lots of DATA. The price of glory is high, but this is ridiculous.
Cross your fingers and RUN.
