    I took CS way back when, I remember quite a bit of theory involved that
    was a lot of fun to learn - it wasn't until I went into the "real world"
    that coding was all comments and cleaning up someone else's if
    statements. :)

    If I = 1 then repeat
    I := 1;

    ... Would you prefer cache or chkdsk for payment?

    If You can call BASIC a Language, it is the only Language I know.

    When I was in the military I was selected to go to Radiomans School.
    The CW code class started at 4 Words Per Minute (wpm) with the four left hand letters on a typewriter, A S D F sent over and over.
    I already had a General Class Amateur Radio License back then and could send and receive over 13 wpm.
    I appreciate that class now since I learned to type back then and really enjoy banging on keys now.

    If it gets the job done, then yes, it's a "language".

    My first job was programming and supporting a PICK system. PICK was an
    odd system that used a database as a file system, and programming was
    all done with their version of BASIC and what I would later realize was
    SQL. All of the functions of a modern retail system (purchasing,
    inventory, accounting, general ledger and even tools like email) were
    all written in BASIC.

    I rememeber logging into a Pick system. When entering the password, the system would echo a random number of X's per keypress which looked odd (I guess that was deliberate).

    When i was in Junior HS, our typing teacher told us it would be in our best interest to learn to type. That way, if we got sent to Vietnam, we could be a REMF, instead of the front line.
