How did you learn programming on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic?
- dextorious 15y agoProbably found some book or magazine about programming in some cruise ship...
- jgw 15y agoMy Mum had bought me a book called the Usborne Guide to BASIC Programming, as my Dad has just bought an Osborne 1 computer for his new consulting business. So on our way across the Atlantic on a Polish vessel from Montreal to Dover, I was enthusiastically learning about programming while the machine sat, frustratingly, in the cargo hold, inaccessible to my eager mitts. I still have the Osborne 1. I last powered her up in 2005, when Adam Osborne passed away.
