NiceR6 Posted May 4, 2005 I got a late start on owning my first computer. It didn't happen until '97 AMD K62 350mhz, 6G HD, 64mg ram, 33k modem. I did use computer in high school but I don't remember what they were but they were PC. Iremember doing quickbasic and ...is it turbopascal? More memorable early computer-type experiences were Colecovision and blowing into the NES cartridges so that they might work on the machine. Anybody ever have the nintendo glove?

e_lion_1 Posted May 5, 2005 quickbasic and ...is it turbopascal? turbopascal it is....lol...I only got to use Apple Pascal Does anybody use Pascal for anything now....just curious... and as far as BASIC goes, well, I don't think my chops in that language helped me out any.... 10 START 20 PRINT "have a good day" 30 END or something like that....the other day I started to think about a bash shell script and BASIC came out... blowing into the NES cartridges been there, done that...lol... I don't think it ever helped, but it felt like it did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
