Just for fun, since I can't sleep, talk about the computer programs you had in elementary school. We never did Oregon Trail. nor programmed the "turtle." Instead our school decided to be extra and have us all play this dorky program called "Sunburst", complete with dancing pixellated sun.
@JeniRizio none of my schools had computer gear. I guess I’m hella old, but I had a Ti-99/4A at age 15 or so. That had Basic. I don’t remember what code I wrote, but I remember feeling like I was the shit when I upgraded from a cassette tape to an actual 360K floppy. Yeah…
@MookyTroubadour I had a TI-99 at home, it was a hand-me-down we got in 1990 or so. Cool vintage computer, though I found the keyboard confusing. I did enjoy making a couple of drawings using the keys and key commands. I'll have to post the photos sometime.
