Damn straight! I think it was '92 for me as well. Good old BBS days.

Actually, I take that back. It was '89 with a friend. Didn't get my own computer until '92. Friend gave me one to use for a while then we went out and bought one.

Something like:

10 print "Enter your name" ?input name

20 print "Hello ?name, nice to see you"

Run

I tried doing something similar on a TRS 80 around 1982 or 83, IIRC. Thought I might try creating a game.


10 lines of BASIC later, I drew a blank. facepalm.gif


Then the Apple IIe and Wizardry showed up. Man, did that rock!! biggrin.gif

Much earlier this year, I finally got Sly and the Family Stone's Stand!.



Despite having it heard most of it 18 years ago, I had no idea they did "Everyday People."


That nursery rhyme singing on it annoys the {censored} out of me. biggrin.gif


Other than that, I like the album.

Every time the spousal unit says she's going to get groceries from the grocery store 2 minutes away and it will only take half an hour, it inevitably takes 45 - 60 minutes. mad.gif



I mean {censored}, she just went back to go get catfood. That shouldn't even take 15 minutes. facepalm.gif

dig. Our church praise band worked up 'Everyday People' a couple months ago; we sometimes make 'adjustments' in lyrics. I lobbied for amending that sing-songy part in favor of better lyrics and a change in melody. No go.
