    My first programming experience was with Basic on an Ollivetti M1 computer that had 64k RAM and a HUGE 5mb HDD.

    I learned to program on this machine because there weren't too many programs on it - or available for it - for me to play with.

    The OS was PCOS, and windowing was natively integrated into the OS kernel.

    I think the truth of your stupid story must be 24 years ago and earlier... since you were a real hog at that time...
    Talking like this to you just like a waste of my and your time, so I think that should be stopped,
    THANK YOU VERY MUCHFOR YOUR CONCERN

    Me too. I think it was version IId of Fortran. I am not sure of the year, it might have been 1970.

    Favorite?

    In the earthquake February 9, 1971, I was disappointed I did not have a rubber band around my punched cards.
