I quite like it, but I don't use it very often.

Massive fucking wank stain is also suitable, I suppose.

I mean, really, just insert your own insult. But the guys a knob.

*note - I have no idea about which version of BASIC was better between the 8 bit machines, I'm not that fucking geeky

Sinclair Basic was constrained to what was in the copyrighted ROMs but I used BBC Basic to write a network e-mail-type program in the sixth form, facilitated by the commands being expandable to address the network.

I had Laser Basic on the Speccie which added plenty of sprite-shifting routines but Basic simply wasn't the way to write decent programmes so it was a diversion rather than useful.

Spectrum 128K Basic at least moved away from the commands being hard-wired to keys so you typed out the whole thing.

ETA: the e-mail programme I created in the 6th form was a graphic example of how insecure Basic is from hacks and other attacks; very instructive to find that out so directly myself as a teenager
