"At Dartmouth, long before the days of laptops and smartphones,

he worked to give more students access to computers.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 = =C2=A0

That work helped propel generations into a new world."



Me too, I owe it all to BASIC.

Because 5 decades earlier, via an ASR 33 Teletype and acoustic coupler at 110 baud

to a remote HP 2100, BASIC was my introduction to computers and programming= .
