Since I learned Basic off an Apple//e, I naturally asked the same 
question when I switched to a PC and needed more programming power.  For 
me the next easiest language to learn was Pascal, since then I've learned 
a little Asm and C++ I definitly feel that Pascal helped me learn those 
languages more than Basic.
