    Out of curiosity, how many people on this board trudge into the entangling morass that has to deal with the binary code spitting machine (aka computer people). As for myself I am pretty well acquainted with C/C++, VisualBASIC, DarkBASIC, and C# (which i know the least of). I just wanted to know about anyone else who shares my love for such stupid machines (any fellow programmers, web designers, IT people, repairmen, et cetera).

    P.S.

    DarkBASIC is a variation of QBASIC that has been written on C++ and Direct X and streamlined for 3D game programming.

    I never did, but I ran some projects that did. As a former hardware engineer, I used to program extensively in boolean and machine language {way back in late sixties} but the closest I ever came to high level stuff was writing transaction queries, SQL.

    I wish you liked lower level stuff I have an idea for a good single chip tool.

    I'm pretty sure I've had a C+. Other than that, nothing in either one of these posts makes any sense to me.

    I used to be a computer tech, then went into IT Project Management. I used to know how to program in Basic, Assembler, Pascal, and Fortran, but all I use these days is Excel, Access, and a bit of SQL.

    LOL! If it helps, it was Atari BASIC and Assembler for Atari that I learned. Fortran was the only language I learned for PC. My 2 years of college were pre-engineering, so it was Fortran; COBOL was for the Business geeks. :D
