[cctalk] Re: BASIC

[Just Kant via cctalk]

My first experience with programming (BASIC) and even computers was on an Atari 
400 in 9th grade. I hated those damned things, I guess mainly on account of the 
membrane keyboard. Elfin tight wads. In 10th I again decided to enroll in 
computer courses, FARTRAN and then COBOL. Mostly on teletype terminals that 
were arguably more unpleasant experience then BASIC on the 400. We had at least 
1 Commodore Pet im the "lab". It would have been nice to use that which had an 
actual keyboard and screen.
