No. I actually always found Fortran interesting sounding, but never got
into it. Let's see BASIC/Pascal/Machine/Assebly/C/C++/Perl/PHP was my
progression, Visual Basic is somewhere in there too, but I don't think it
counts as a separate language. I'm probably rusty with most of those now
and currently work in Perl and PHP. I was sad when the PHP class was
canceled this semester at the JC as I wanted to get some 'official'
knowledge on it. You always seem to miss things when you self teach. Oh, I
think I played with Pilot (that turtle thing) way back. I've read COBOL
and found it annoying. I wonder if the county still uses COBOL
programmers.

I'd like to do some review work in C sometime under Linux. Seems like a
waste not to.
