My mother bought the family a PC back in the early 90s. She was working on a masters degree, and her coursework required it. I taught myself Turbo Pascal on that machine. Loved it! Years later I started college (originally majoring in CS), and they taught their courses in C++. I read the manual cover-to-cover and finished out the course, just to give it a fair shot. Wasted time though. To know it is to loathe it. At the end of the course, changed my major to computer engineering and never looked back. Wirth languages are where it's at!
