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 ;)
