Wow, ya a little behind the times.  :)

BASIC for me was only high school.  But that's because we had Commodore PETs
with only some having floppy drives.

College started with FORTRAN, but we quickly moved to Pascal.  In my Junior
year, they dropped FORTRAN for Computer Science majors.  (Which was a bummer.
It was because I knew FORTRAN that I got my first real programming job.)


.... My other computer is a Commodore PET.
