@rockingmasterofnerd yeay, they're Programming Languages & these days Basic is more commonly used as Visual Basic...
-
@rockingmasterofnerd C++, C, and BASIC aren't programs, they are programming languages, which are used to make programs.

Bunch of fucking whiners here. Oooh, these guys suck..., Microsoft should die... Apple blows....
Get your heads out of your asses. You don't like Bill Gates' vision of computing? Come up with something better. That's the whole point of this piece. Here's an industry that rewards original thinking and innovation. The only downside to the computer revolution is that it's spawned a generation of instant-gratification losers who don't deserve the great technology that they have.
RIP, Steve Jobs.

Rest in Peace Steve Jobs - historical figure without a doubt!

What a whopping mistake. The first PC KIT was by Ed Roberts and the first PC as we know it today is Apple I By Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Actually Gate and Allen worked for Ed Roberts.
