Speaking of wriing awful BASIC programs - when I was learning Applesoft
BASIC, the first night I couldn't get anything to work right. I was
going crazy - but even the simplest _two_ line program wouldn't work.


Ended up... I was hitting the space bar at the end of the line to wrap
the cursor to the next line. I wasn't hitting <ENTER>


-blush-


I still consider that my biggest leap in programming skill. ;)

Ok...I'll pitch in mine, my ever so wonderful Apple II+. Booted of
5 1/4 floppies and even had an acoustic modem. I wrote awful programs
with a zillion goto statements and had tons of fun doing it.

First thing I bought with my first ever paycheck was a sound card for my
moms old 386sx16 that she never ever got to use, and I proceeded to
download Simpson's WAV's from the local BBS's all night long! Oh the
wonders of technology :)
