Nice. I "learned" several variants of BASIC. My friends (or my parents friends) had other computers, like TRS Model II (I think?), TRS-80 CoCo, and a TI-99/4A. There may have been others...

I took the college PL/I class the summer between freshman and sophmore high school.

My sophmore year of high school, I took a "business computing" class that covered word processing, spreadsheets, and databases. I quite enjoyed writing small db projects in dBase II. :D

Our school also had a System 32, donated by our town's utility company after their upgrade. The only thing the school could think to do was offer a RPG/II class, which I took the same year. Although I don't think of RPG/II as a language, but alas...

I discovered Pascal and C on the college VAX. But it was 1989 before I discovered Turbo Pascal and 1990 for Turbo C.
