I always wanted compilers, but could t afford Borland C++ which meant I was stuck with QBasic and older C/Pascal compilers thag could only make .com files. So my first purchase was Visual C++ 4. Programmed my ass off for a whole week. I then discovered cars and started spending all my time and money on that.
