The history part

While I know that this topic was used and abused lately, I'm going to take my chances in the humble hope that I'll manage to bring something new and fresh to the table. If I'm to fail, I apologize just as humbly, and hope I won't be wasting your time completely. The first computer I ever laid my hands on, if it can be called a computer, was a HC90, back in 1991, which was a ZX80/Sinclair clone at the local computer club. You know, BASIC interpreter, the works. When I finally managed to convince my folks to get me one of those, said computers disappeared off the market. So fast forward a few years later: I was using DOS 6.22 on a 286, then it was Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000...and so on. Since I already liked the idea of programming a computer since the HC90 days, if BASIC can be called programming, I started digging around to see how I can program on my Windows machine. My connection back then was via an external modem, with a limited data plan, so I had to download
documentation from Internet Cafes or whatever source I could.
