      Hardly ever. And it's BASIC, you heathen. And BASIC is still easier to use than COBOL and Fortran.

      Hey I've got an Atari 800 with 32K RAM and cassette tape backup if anyone is interested. I'll throw in the BASIC cartridge for free even! :laugh:

          What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

              Oh, now you've stepped in it... I have a MicroVAX 3100 (circa 1986) with 8MB RAM and two 1GB HDDs and VAX BASIC installed. :cool:

              VAX BASIC V3.9-000

              Ready

              print 6*7
              42
              Ready

              10 for i = 1 to 10
              20 print "Hello, world!"
              30 next i
              runnh

              Hello, world!
              Hello, world!
              Hello, world!
              Hello, world!
              Hello, world!
              Hello, world!
              Hello, world!

                I am sooo glad I never had to use a line editor. While some of my classmates were using EDT (?) in line mode, the cool kids showed me how to use TECO in screen mode (this was on a PDP-11).

                        You are NOT allowed to walk up to him and push his head through the nearest partition. However if you don't get into a pissing contest with him you may find yourself writing client code for that crap, after all he is try to sell the idea to managers!

                          BASIC-PLUS is what I first learned on a PDP-11. Then some form of Pascal also on a PDP-11. Most of my college work was in VAX Pascal.

                            Because "succeed" is not in their dictionary? Hey, what's the past tense of "succeed"?

                              Also glad I never had to do that. The 80s was a great time to begin using computers.

                                  At the next meeting slip something in his drink. When he's knocked out cold take out his organs shave his beard. When the Lin-Uxorcism is complete enjoy your C# project :D Seriously though, don't you just hate it when people get all religious about their technology? The only tech-religion I have is anti-Apple. That friggin iPhone doesn't even know lower case letters on its keyboard. NO LOWER CASE LETTERS! :wtf: It's waaaaay overpriced for a phone that doesn't know lower case letters... Anyway, don't give in to the Linux guy!

                                      At the next meeting slip something in his drink. When he's knocked out cold take out his organs shave his beard. When the Lin-Uxorcism is complete enjoy your C# project :D Seriously though, don't you just hate it when people get all religious about their technology? The only tech-religion I have is anti-Apple. That friggin iPhone doesn't even know lower case letters on its keyboard. NO LOWER CASE LETTERS! :wtf: It's waaaaay overpriced for a phone that doesn't know lower case letters... Anyway, don't give in to the Linux guy!

                                      You have to give it to Apple though, they know how to do simple[^]! ;P

                                        "I am not going to help you", that's the sort of can-do attitude that is the very foundation of every successful team

                                        Try Grapple for Android, it has a naked pixel guy in it! Also, loads of blood and some snakes.

                                          As someone who started with the command line, (indeed, had to flip the switches on the front panel in the right order to boot the computer) I think I can say that the IDE is a massive improvement in ease of use, productivity, and general all round loveliness. Just having a debugger that works with your code is superb! Being able to edit your code while it's running is a genuine miracle. You know what I'm talking about: Intellisense, XML commenting, autocompletion, the whole package. Yes, there are times when Notepad and a compiler are all you need, but for a more complex project just sorting out makefiles by hand is a PITA! :laugh: I think he's an idiot. Presumably he knows one technology, and assumes it's the best for all environments. Script kiddie indeed...

                                          Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
