\\nTeaser quotes:
\\n\\u201cI got so frustrated, I couldn\\u2019t wait till I got Mac/65 mature enough where it could start assembling itself. So that\\u2019s why it has a lot of compatibilities syntactically with the Atari Assembler/Editor.\\u201d
\\n\\u201cA lot of us were not formally educated in software development. Because it just didn\\u2019t exist in the colleges at the time ... Algorithms, searching, and things like that \\u2014 all that stuff happened after that.\\u201d
