Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Perhaps I asked the wrong question...

I've come to what is left of my senses: I am not remotely qualified to learn assembly. Sticking with BASIC for now. There is much left for me to learn in this language. New fork for this discussion: someday, if I ever have bunches of free time (ha!), maybe I should learn another high-level language. I now realize that could be any number of choices: C, COBOL, Forth, Fortran, Pascal, Java, and others .... which would be easiest for a liberal arts person like me to transition into from BASIC, and which would best serve me as a tour guide at the museum?
