Eric, my first program was the original Bill Gates MBasic interpreter, took about 20 minutes to load from one of those tape readers on a terminal. Wish I would have kept it, probably would be worth something to historians (I am one of those dinos, having programmed in MACHINE LANGUAGE, octal, of course, it was an Intel chip, write the program on a piece of papervidushi). I am getting close to selling my boat, a Liberty 28 (1979, full keel, 4,800 pounds) because of age, just can't keep up the maintenance. Any takers? I'll train you in sailing the Spanish Virgins... 82 degrees every day.
