I laugh too. Myself as one that did buy the first three offered versions of MITS BASIC at the discounted extortion of additional memory I'll say this. It's 30 years later, I stull ahvent gotten a copy of MITS BASIC that wasn't buggy! I'd add that among the users of the day everyone lusted for it and then got is to say "this is really poor" then go of and type in a copy TBX, LLL-basic, or TDL 5k basic and there were more some distinctly better. Many of those were free, some cost money but, on the whole were cheap. When I got my NS* Minidisk system it had basic with the DOS I figured it was just another crappy basic. Turns out it was different than many but it worked, and worked well. Those of us remember when DRI was OS and MS was languages. Some of also remember that many of the MS languages were just a expensive and always a little off from the base languages we knew from minis and the like. So after all these years I'm not surprized nor disappointed. It's what we expected would happen. Allison
