Mine was a decade later; we used a pentium, msdos, C, and for this 
project, labwindows. Later we also used Labview on Win 95. Old projects 
used compiled basic.

We owed a lot to Basic, because it was what was used by engineers of 
several types that were not programmers, but had ideas about how to do 
things with computers in their respective fields. Or simply, they 
invented things that could be done with computers.

I have a lot of respect for Basic and those pioneers.
