[Coco] Happy Birthday BASIC!

[Rietveld Rietveld]

As a kid BASIC helped me spend a lot of hours basking in the brilliant ‎ green glow of my parents 26 inch RCA.
Even after moving on to ML via Disk Edtasm I still carried a love for BASIC.
I remember doing a grade 12 co op in the local primary school. It was a thrill to watch those kids faces when they turned simple words in to spectacular programs ; even though the school used c64's :(

Hi all,
LOVE BASIC!
Have learned ASM (a little), Pascal, C/C++ and some Visual Languages.
The only one I come back to is BASIC.
Love learning the CoCo version.
Grew up with the VIC20 version.
They seem very similar.  Lov'in it and having tons of fun for very little money!  :)
Great community!


Johnny
