   To be honest, I don't know many BASIC programmers these days though that's   
   not due to any deliberate action of mine.  Well, depends on what type of   
   BASIC programmers.  The one PowerBASIC programmer I knew sadly died a few   
   years ago though I know of a few wcBASIC (Wildcat!) programmers.  I wrote a   
   door in QuickBASIC a while back.   
      
   I started out with BASIC, first on a Timex/Sinclair 1000 I got in 1984   
   (which I still have!!!), then a TRS-80 Color Computer 2, an Apple ][c, then   
   on a Classic Mac, then finally moving on to an IBM PC.  I first started   
   learning UCSD Pascal on a TRS-80 Model III in high school in 1987.  When I   
   got into BBSing heavily in the early 90s is when I got into Pascal.   
      
   I still use Pascal today though I am finally learning C since I am a member   
   of the MBSE BBS Development Team.  I do write my doors in Pascal using   
   Borland Turbo Pascal 7, Free Pascal, and Virtual Pascal.   
      
   As for a BASIC echo, start one!  I'm sure it'd get traffic. :)
