Well, back in 1986/87/88 I started with computers.
My first maschine was a CBM 610 with 128 kB (expanded to CBM 620 with 256 kB (!)).

I coded heavily for this maschine (Basic), as nearly no software was available for this System.
 
My "masterpiece" was a sort of "graphical user interface", which I called "X-Copy" (inspired by the Amiga Program, but actually it was more like Dopus4).
As my System didn't have/support a mouse, I had to move the cursor with the arrow keys, and when the desired item was highlighted I had to press "Enter" instead of double-clicking with the left mousebutton.

This way working with this system became much more convenient.

One day - after I was fiddeling around in the code - I saved the code to the disk.

Normally the code needed 35 blocks of disk space - but when I had saved it this time, I noticed that it occupied just one (1) block on the disk!

I reloaded the code to see what happened. To my big surprise it was the complete code, which normally occupied 35 blocks; just the first two lines were from a different program.

I replaced the first two lines with the original ones and the code worked flawlessly.

But sadly ever since then the code took 35 blocks again on the disk when I saved it...

All the best,
