This will be awesome. When I find a programming language that implements unicode 16 (that I am familiar with) I am going to try and implement space invaders using this.

With a current new machine a newbie can not do ANYTHING. With the old machine you could do tons of things. A lot of stuff was in your operating system by default. Programming could be done on ANY new computer as BASIC was a default item in your system. Currently there is no programming language that is as simple as BASIC. Any language has a huge learning curve
