Yeah!!! Say it again, and LOUDER!!! If Steve Levy could write a 400+
book in 1983 with a ][+, then it can still be done today. (The book was
titled Hackers) The fact is that a fully equipped //e is fine for most
of what people do with a computer, other than "eye candy" web surfing,
and the //gs can't do that either - yet. I've tried several times to
learn to program in C for Windows, and have finally gone back to BASIC
on the //e, and am working my way up. NOW some of what I "learned" in C
is finally making sense. I hope to be able to produce some limited
interest programs for the //gs when I finish. But starting with the
simple (BASIC on a //e) and working up to the difficult (C/C++ on //gs
or Mac or Windows) is sound educational theory.
