Remember entering the code for sprites? I'd spend half the morning typing a 
screenful of 0s and 1s, only to run the thing and discover my sprites were 
missing a limb or two. But you doggedly persisted, and were so chuffed with 
the end result, even though none of it was of your own design. I'd love to 
recapture that feeling.
