Nice that many of the computers are interactive and useable. I remember trying to use my C64 commands on my first intel machine. It struck me as odd that didn't need to use the run command to start a program. Although GW basic was not too different than Commadore basic.

Thanx for the link.

I used to program in LOGO on the TI99/4A. Much better than any Basic.

I have a book "Turtle geometry" by H.Abelson and A.DiSessa. You won't believe, but it manages to treat General Relativity.
