So I was sitting here with an emulator running and no disk loaded in and decided to just boot to basic. Then I decided since the Atari was just idling I would have a little fun. So I typed in this program and hit run.

I turned on the turbo and let it go, actually forgetting about it for a day or so. So far it's about here (12 million).

So anyone know offhand what the largest number Atari Basic can count to? I am sure it might be somewhere in the Basic manual but I don't have any of that handy at the moment and google isn't coming up with an answer. Anyone else finding a goofy way to let their emulator waste time?
