I even had a PASCAL compiler. <SHUDDERS>
I had wanted to be a coder before that but for some reason went right off the idea after those experiences.
After that, I did "An Introduction to PASCAL" at the same college. Followed by "Advanced PASCAL". It was on that course that I met a lecturer who was working at Manchester University, who gave me a good recommendation that got me on a Computer Science degree course. ...And the rest is history, as they say.
Now it's 30 years later. Where did those days/years go?
