Huh? I'm talking about my views of myself. I said that BASIC was a programming language I could learn without access to anyone else, on a microcomputer circa 1982. All I had was the book that came with the computer, and after a while a book on BASIC games.
The machine I had was a TI 99/4A. My Dad got it because the marketing said "it's a 16 bit processor which is the wave of the future; the other machine only have 8 bit processors." It came with BASIC. LOGO was available, now that others reminded
Seems that we had the same career. :-) I liked the TI 99/4A. Mine is still running, sometimes :-)
TI really made a good job in producing a educational machine. It was simple, and you could make good results with little effort. Same with python today.
And whow knows, without the TI, would I post here right now?
