@reidrac @nixCraft I'll agree with that. I wrote programs in three different BASICs .... CBM BASIC on a PET, the BASIC on the TI 99/4A, and the BASIC that was standard on a Cray Portable (this was in high school in '82 ... the TI was mine, the others were in the computer lab). I don't remember which was first. Then I went to college and have been Unix shell scripting ever since.
