10 PRINT "Hello, Retrobits Listeners!" 20 GOTO 10

Welcome to Show 027!  This week's Topic: The Beginner's All-Purpose

Symbolic Instruction Code (or BASIC, for short...)

Topics and links discussed in the podcast...

More Commodore news - here's

an interview with Bil Herd on the Commodore Plus/4 World website! Check out the Vintage Computing and

Gaming website for "adventures in collecting, playing, and hacking vintage computing and gaming devices." If you're in the US and interested in products from Individual Computers (e.g., the Retro Replay), then have a look at the

C64 Reloaded Store. As always, it's all there on Wikipedia - articles on the BASIC

programming language,

Dartmouth BASIC, and the Dartmouth

Timesharing System! Want to program in BASIC on modern day systems?  Have a look at FreeBASIC, DarkBASIC, BlitzBASIC, or Visual BASIC.NET 2005.
