Subj: BASIC

Learn BASIC?  About six years ago I started to learn and stopped, then started
to learn PASCAL and stopped, then got my Mac in the office and discovered
freeware and shareware and a million people who ENJOY writing programs and then
found that almost anything I ever want or may need has already been written or
is being written by someone with a fantastic talent and joy for programing.
After that, I put away my BASIC books and as a coincidence, just last week
threw away my PASCAL notes.
  For those who enjoy programing...   Wonderful!!  I "basically" fell on my
face and I think I stick with playing with other kid's toys if I can find the
programs.
