Very happy memories. I spent so much time in Radio Shack when I was a teenager that it started to feel like home. Friend of mine wrote the first machine-language program I ever saw, "Mountain Mission". You basically controlled the elevation of a cannon and it shot at things on a mountain. Radio Shack put it in their software catalog. I think he made several hundred bucks. I feel sorry for folks learning to code today. I was thinking about creating a course to teach folks to program, and it occurred to me that a more useful course might be along the lines of "How to set up and run 'hello world' in various configurations" You could have a section on each O/S, and then exercises would cover the top 5 or 6 languages.
