Once again, with the help of some detailed source provided I have finished a very in-depth, heavily commented disassembly of basic.system 1.5 which can be assembled with orca/m. I mailed it to the sys.apple2 gmail account. If you cannot access it and want a copy, just gmail me at larrygr510. Let me know what you think.

Apparently, the password was changed once again. Could someone
be so kind as to email the GMAIL account access information. :)

Yes, I think it's a real question.
The problem with gmail is that people are using it, and thus there is a lot of information there. Order from some big chain, wham, your address is likely in some email. Things like that, which makes gmail a really good thing to break into, if you think that sort of thing is good.
Which means google is adding security measures. That thing about wanting your "mobile phone" number isn't some restriction, it's an attempt at adding something that won't be out of your possesion. Like those attempts at preventing the copying of old programs, they'd do things like put soemthing in the manual that you needed to run the program, and then make that page hard to photocopy. Or stick a "dongle" on the back, so the software wouldn't run without it. If you set up gmail so it needs the "mobile phone" to access the account, it eliminates a lot of chances taht someone could access the gmail account.
They can track where you are coming from. They notice that it's not the same IP address as the last time. They wonder if it's a breakin, so they throw up something so you need not only the password but some bit of information you entered when you set up the gmail account.
I had this happen a few months ago when I used my tablet from some public wifi access point. They asked one of those password recovery questions for added security, I couldnt' remember what answer it was supposed to be.
THis shared use of a gmail account is precisely what gmail doesn't want. And since it gets IP addresses from all over, the activity is seen as suspicious. And then the login information keeps changing (maybe because someone forgets the pasword and goes through the motions to reset it?), which then causes login attempts that fail. That causes more suspicion.
They asked for the city where you normally sign in because they know (or would on most accounts) the usual IP address and thus location where an account is normally accessed, and you would know that too. If you can answer properly, then that increases the chances that you are who you say you are.
Repeated wrong answers will jut keep causing flags to go up.
And that's just going to keep happening with a shared account. Someone won't remember the password, make gueses, and then make it harder for the next. Some of these questions may not be about the password changing, but just that something has caused a flag to go up, but since people aren't realizing it, they fuss over thinking the password has changed.
