The UK TV show is the best viewable version and the hand-drawn
"computer" animations for the Guide are great.

I haven't been to the cinema since Star Wars Episode III (maybe even
Episode I). It is simply too expensive. I used to go during the weekday
daytime sessions when there was almost nobody else there. :-)

Yeap, same-same for me. Where I used to live, the local multi-screen had
"Cheap Tuesdays" ... $10 to any film, any session before 6:00p.m.

Often, I'd rock up at about 10 mins to 11:00a.m. and just go to whatever
film was starting at about 11:00a.m. Pick-a-film, any film!

[Hal Heydt]
I'm not upset about the mistake.

A couple of bits of history... The eponymous Heydt was Karl Otto
Heydt who came to the US from Prussia to avoid being drafted to
fight in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.

When we were married, Dorothy cheerfully change her surname from
Jones to Heydt because she had found over the years that a
surprising number of people could neither spell nor pronounce
Jones. (Go figure.) Likewise, because of the same issue with
Heydt, when our daughter was married, she changed her surname to
that of her husband, Creelman. She has since found...the same
issue.

More about languages than you might suppose. Dorothy had a
degree in Linguistics. Me...the only languages (other than
English) that I can deal with are for programming computers.

[Hal Heydt]
I *can* write in C, though not well. I spent a lot of years
writing in COBOL, and I can make it do things that aren't always
meant to be possible. FORTRAN is kind of rusty. I started with
FORTAN II and later got FORTRAN IV (pretty easy transition).
Never learned Pascal. BASIC I get by in because I knew FORTRAN.
Also learned and/or used a number of assembly languages... SPS
IID, Autocoder, ALC (aka BAL), COMPASS. (Points to those that
can identify the machines or operating system those apply to.)

Also got reasonably decent with SQL, which might or might not be
considered a "laungauge".

And then there's there other stuff like RPG and some similar
languages whose names I've forgotten. And the languages that I
learned at one point and now can't even recall the names of. Ah,
yes... ALGOL was one of them.

In the late 80's/early 90's, I did (little bits of) BASIC, Fortran and
Pascal programing. Some writing in '1' and 'none' i.e. 'Zero' which then
got compiled on to Intel 8085, Zilog Z80 or Motorola 6809 CPU's and I
also taught basic/simple programing on those CPU's.

You both might profit from subscribing to news:alt.folklore.computers where
olden computing stuff is aired. And even modern stuff such as PCs
running DOS.

xpost left in, as I can't tell where Daniel65 is based, (I'm seeing this
in rasf) but it would do us all a favour if the drwho chat was kept in the
correct NGs. TIA.

I started learning to program in 1964...so BASIC, Pascal
languages didn't exist, and neither did microprocessors.

Among languages I forgot mention...SNOBOL.
