   Those of who are playing with vintage CP/M and MS-DOS machines.  Turbo Pascal   
   was probably the best tool for programming on those systems.

   Someone correct me, but doesn't Mystic BBS still allow you to program things in   
   Pascal?  Or did they finally move to Python?   
      
   But the ghosts of these old languages still exist in the modern ones.  Pascal   
   wouldn't have existed without Algol.  Java borrows heavily from Pascal.  And   
   how many languages have riffed off Java?   
      
      
   ... You've obviously been educated beyond your intelligence.
