   This took me back. It was the first language taught to us in Computer Science at UNSW (1989). I remember the first lecture went something along the lines of "Ok, all you smart arses who've mucked around at home with BASIC and thin

    Perhaps I should say 'work journal'. It's not necessarily code related. I've updated the title to clarify. Thanks!

    I'm with you - I wrote one for the IIGS. I'd leave it running overnight and have a pretty picture in the morning!

    Handy tip for those on a mac using terminal - type a command and press cmd-ctrl-shift-? to get a man page pop-up. (People with touch bars can just tap on the man page icon.)

    You might also be interested in the book "Dungeons and Desktops". The guy who wrote it does really great videos as well. Do a search for "matt chat wizardry" to see interviews with Robert Woodhead et al.

    My brother went to a computer camp and brought back a folder with an introduction to BASIC printed using that purple ink tech they had before photocopiers. (What's that called again?) We didn't have a computer but I read that and
