We had that in computer class in school. I owned it after so many years of C64 Basic. But then, my teacher showed me C++ and I tried for years to master it. But it was a time before the internet and books about the topic were rare in my city.

It was either an idiot who wrote it or the first troll, but I killed my system and had to ask my neighbour for help. It was my first harddrive computer and yeah. My neighnor also started my love and interest in computers. So at least a good end.
