when i was a kid, at the very beginning of the 80's, my parents would sit at
the dinner table and sometimes they were talking about computer programming
language, fortran and cobol, I remember.

i was playing around with basic then, too, on my apple II+ which i used for
papers, and also games.

sneakers was my absolute favorite.
