The library in the city near where I grew up had some variant of this book in it. Unfortunately, the variant of BASIC was something that didn't compile on the 286 my parents had purchased and either I didn't ask or they couldn't help me at age ~5/6 to get around the compiler errors, and I thought I wasn't smart enough to be a programmer for about 8 years.

Then I got into the mid-wave mod scene in 1998, and I realized I had the wrong compiler, but man, I just thought I couldn't follow directions right.




that's sad :(
