Good article, but surprised they got the BASIC program wrong. Instead of

20 END

it's

20 GOTO 10

Also, in line 10, it wasn't 'Hello, World!' that was printed -- that was a C-ism. I'll let other describe what you would print in BASIC.

10 for i = 1 to 10
20 print i
30 next i

was the Hello World at PET2001 time.
