Thanks DC I have learned something I never knew. You guys are very clever you know! I'm very impressed.

All I ever learnt was Basic and Fortran back in the dinosaur days of the 70's.

Gladdie Tidings to Laddie... and to the Mathematical-Mr.Robert... This Internet business is still surprising to me... in ways I dare not write here (!)

I acknowledge this new "Sub-Thread" because someone said the word BASIC. I, as they say, "cut my teeth", upon this language, yet Fortran would have been industrial (expensive) beyond my reach (as a teenager/child)...

I was a "Bedroom Coder". It is tempting, here, to begin a new Thread reminiscing such old days... but, well... I do not know what else to say...

Dragon 32! And Commodore 64! Spectrum 48k was my enemy!

Yet nowadays... C and C+ are all I can only *think* of using...

Good memories of Fortran.  First language i was taught.  Started with punched cards, wrapped in elastic bands and proper lineprinter printouts 

Moved onto Basic, Pascal, integrated development environments and the modern junk.
