        My initial programming started in a simple data-entry class.
There was a section that introduced BASIC programming but it
certainly wasn't a major part of the class. It caught my interest
though and I was soon far ahead of what was being taught and was
working on programs at home without a computer then bringing them in
to type them in the next day. My Algebra teacher took an interest in
what I was doing and offered help when he could.
