Ah, yes, 1980, a seminal year. I learned BASIC under John Fucci and John Kemeny
in night classes while in 7th grade, and wrote a football video game in BASIC on
the TI-99. The roulette and slot machine games made me some money, but got me in
trouble with the school administration... ;) I wish I still had those program
printouts... I still have the BASIC text book..
