[grin] Glad to know I'm not the only one to start out on a TRS-80
using Basic. We didn't have any computers in my high school, though.
Only the big city schools had the money for those, so you were lucky.
I remember feeling at such a huge disadvantage at the university
because I'd never even seen a computer before and my big-city
classmates were able to sit right down and whip out programs because
they already knew how.
