The comments on here make me realize how fortunate I was to have a PC and an interest in learning C as a kid. Not to mention a supportive mother who bought me Borland's Turbo C++ compiler when I was ten or so.
Thanks, Mom. You opened the door to a lifelong passion and a decent livelihood to boot.
- kjellsbells 4y agoI dont think enough people realize the impact of cheap but powerful tools in the 1980s. BYTE ads are selling compilers for 5000 bucks and then Turbo Pascal and Zortech C showed up for 49.99. Incredible.
