I was tinkering around in Basic back then, I wasn't writing much of my own,
but I did know a few commands. I remember when using "canned" software had
a certain stigma to it, like saying "you are not a true computer afficinado,
you don't even type in your own code." I also remember that my dad taught
computer programming out of the back of magazines, ones with names like
TI/99er, Home Computing (is it still out there?), and K-Power. Heck, even
3-2-1 Contact, the PBS based magazine had a source code section for a while.
I'm afraid I don't remember Forth, though I have heard of it, about as much
as my friends have heard of PGP.

The address you mailed to is no longer valid.
This is probably because the user in question was an
old Open Net subscriber. Open Net is NO LONGER an ISP,
and has not been since May 1996.
We have no redirection address for that user. Please
remove them from any mailing lists you might have.
