October 1985 I got this issue of MAD in the mail. I was ten. I managed to get the program transcribed onto an apple II. Although I lacked the vocabulary to name what I was doing, in my second go around, I ported the program to a Texas instruments TI-99/4A when I realized that although BASIC would work, variations of the language required figuring out why the program wouldn't run. Basically a bitmap, the program was intentionally tedious, get it, ha ha? but produced an image map of Alfred.
