Some of us went by hundreds.

BASIC was designed as an integral part of an interactive timeshared system 
for students and staff to use at Dartmouth. Line numbers served two 
purposes: one as target labels for GOTOs, the other for ordering lines in 
the editor.

Both uses are now obsolete.

By the way, did you have some kind of line-renumbering utility in your 
BASIC system? That would also fix up GOTOs to correctly branch to the 
renumbered lines.
