[cctalk] Re: BASIC

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.
