If you had tried this:
10 PRINT "Are you a cute looking girl? sweetie?"
20 INPUT a
30 IF a=true then PRINT "REALLY??"; GOTO 20;It'd have become a maintanance free application! :-D

How did you learn to program? Is it from the internet? a book? If from internet wut site and if book, wut book? I'm trying to learn any language like C++ or C# and i dont have any materials and dont know where to get some good sources. When you first learn your language, was it hard and how long did it take you to start to create simple programs? I'm sry if this is too many questions but im new here and i want to understand some of the experiences you had.
There are numerous ways to learn but I can let you know what worked best for me. I started going to Grad school for Masters in CS, I got about 1/2 way done and felt I had no real world experience for which I could change my occupation. I found defining a problem and then coding to solve the problem to be the easiest way to learn. Come up with an idea and just start coding it. You will come across numerous issues but everything has been done before so the solution should be available through Google. I found studying for certification also helps, gives you a goal to strive for. Read a book like Code Complete before you start, pick a language, read up on the syntax on the web to gain a high level understanding, create a project idea, and code away.. Just my 2 cents

That's so cool. Here's what I started off with: http://oldcomputers.net/ts1000.html[^] --modified I wish I could find it. I do still have my old Commodore 128 in the attic and have been debating on pulling it out to fiddle around with it :-D

Hang on to it! I still kick myself for getting rid of my C64. I had 2 (one for parts), a tape drive, a butt load of software (even a very functionable GUI!). I sold the whole thing at a yard sale for $50!
