ROTFLMAO!! i guess C coders would think that even if the fact that PASCAL
was invented first, by a year, eludes them ;)

i guess you don't feel that systems with BASIC as their OS are real
systems, either? ;) i'm aware of more than one mini, still in use today,
that has BASIC as its core operating system and everything that runs on it
is written in BASIC, as well ;)

somehow, i don't think we could expect any less of you ;)
