BASIC, why is that the most universal language implemented on nearly every
micro and many other systems.
Because it was the language offered on the GEIS timesharing system when a
private boys' school in Seattle decided to teach programming in 1969? And
on the systems at HP where a young technician was working in 1975?
It's pretty much all down to my boss and his friend, and that guy from the
Bay Area.
The most wonderfully worked root-cause analysis award goes to..... :)
