All the "little computers" used basic when I started.  The mainframes ran cobol or fortran, but because the wee little computers and early PCs were so limited, that the Basic Interpreter was what you used.

Wasn't long until that early release of Turbo-Pascal changed my world, relegating Basic to just another script-language.

Still works the treat in certain instances.
