What's Wrong With Load'*'81 or LOAD'*'1 on C64

Follow
8-Bit Show And Tell

Robin's pedanticism gets set off by incorrect Commodore 64 LOAD statements seen on tshirts and documentary film trailers. We'll examine what's wrong with them and why, and explain how to fix them. And along the way we might learn a thing or two about loading from cassette and why accuracy matters at least to some people.
