And I had an error in my previous code. I forgot to add, THEN.

To think I was doing BASIC almost as soon as I could read (actually before that too--when I just copied right the letters out of books).

I once taught my TI how to dial telephone numbers for me by making the right tones. I also created a simpl animation program in TI Extended BASIC back in the day (you drew each frame and then it would play it back).

I even used my TI to get extra credit in health and French clsses for some programs I wrote back when I was in Jr. High.

Awesome. I grew out of the TI so fast, but I had it for about two years. Did you ever play Tunnels Of Doom? TOD was my absolute favorite and I'd love to remake it on the PC. Parsec was #2. And yes, I loved CALL SPRITE with CALL COINC for coincidence checking. Damn good times! I moved onto the Atari 800 (which is what I had always wanted, really) and then into the 8088s by 1985.

Seriously, I have been thinking about remaking TOD...

I was a bit slower. I didn't move to PCs until about 1994, but I had moved on to CP/M on the Zilog Z80 by 1991 where I finally learned assembly language and was introduced to Pascal.

I don't think I've seen TOD. Now I'm gonna have to look it up. I think I saw it for sale in a book once. If you ever do a remake, let me know.

Ahh, I got into pascal in 1984 with my first 8088. I now code exclusively in Delphi 7 and 2008. Made a damn good living coding in Pascal. I manage coders now, but all of my projects are all still in Pascal (Delphi).

You guys are giving me flashbacks to when I wrote/edited the Sperry Univac COBOL Programmer's Reference Guide. Not good times. Bleeding ulcers and binge alcoholism...

LOL Blixa... :)

My neighbor next door of whom I just met a couple weeks ago, upon learning I was a coder told me he worked for Utah State coding RPG. I paused, and then said. I'm sorry. He just smiled.

My daughter likes to color and many of her projects are in pastel. Anyone remember punch cards?

Heh-heh - my father-in-law's final project in college was done via punch cards. A whole huge stack of them.

I'm reminded of Apu's final project, a tic-tac-toe playing computer read his punch cards. "Only the best Tic-tac-toe players in the world could beat it."
