clarify what i was doing to crash it

| Sep 18, 2022 at 2:29 | comment | added | hippietrail | @Tommy because I was writing bytes into every screen location and thus overwriting either the program or the variable area used by BASIC. I'll clarify where I wrote "play with"... With a BASIC program running you can see the pixels in the program/variable area changing dynamically. | |
