That I no longer remember... Mind you we are talking 83/84, so these dinosaurs were really days after meteorite struck (IBM PC, and the take over of mammals, such as single-user systems, networking and the now dominant species Windows, which by definition would have problem to survive a catastrophy...). Professional career; Basic -> HP calculator -> Assembly (8031->8088->PIC) -> C -> (C++) -> Java -> JavaCPU Don't remember the model number of the HP Calculator, but it was hardly a pocket one, more like a computer, but only paper-print output, an enhanced calculator keyboard, and IEEE-488 interface. I did a Tomato breeding measurement and data collection system with that, connecting to a weighing machine... First job I got paid for, ~USD100. For fun; Basic -> TI57/58/59, HP41C -> Assembly( 6502->Z80->8088) -> Fortran, Pascal, APL, Juno (Ada clone), Lisp -> C -> Java (There were days when I thought that being a good programmer meant you could program any language.) The OLD crowd is getting sentimental over nostalgia of a lost era (Jurrasic times).
