  • Happy Birthday BASIC

    10 PRINT "Happy Birthday"


    20 GOTO 10


    Forty-four years ago today a new kind of progarming language was run for the first time.  That language was Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code or BASIC.  This was one of the first languages I learned.  I remember having fun with this running looping programs, and other fun things.  But, alas we have gone towards object oriented and visual programing.
