[quote=Essbee][quote=ucodegen](in 1978…)Most high schools didn’t even have computers available to them, much less individual homes. The High School I attended was one of the rare one’s who did.. in 1975 (oops, dating myself here). This was the first system I learned to program (Not Basic, the other language that was available on that machine)

Sorry.. didn’t see your entry.. If you had ‘google’d IBM 5100, you would have found that FORTRAN was not available on that machine. The languages were effectively microcoded into the machine.. so there was some limit to what was offered. The other language was APL.
