Basic is pretty much my go-to language for quick and dirty programming. A lot of oldtimers like myself [pulls waistband up above bellybutton, adjusts dentures] learned it first (actually I learned Z80 and 6502 assembly first, basic was a godsend compared to that!), cause all the old 8 bit systems had an interpreter. I never really could learn to like C++ though I've use it. IMP Object Pascal rocks!
