  RetroJoe said  I too discovered the Maximite via The 8-Bit Guy. I was originally following his Commander X16 project


Same here. To be very honest, initially I saw MMBasic as a disadvantage because I was looking for a to-the-metal programming environment where I can understand at clock cycle level exactly what is going on. But down the rabbit hole I went, and I don't regret it. Along the way, I developed a lot of respect for MMBasic and the platform around it. The Maximite story added a lot of color to the picture.

Geoff, you are like the grandmother in the story: A semi-mythical person from the land of Oz, creating a Basic ;-) Congratulations on MMBasic's first decade!
