I know it's new fangled compared, but I started programming by going on a course after having been an operator for a while. We started with COBOL, but I enjoyed IBM assembler and even better - ICL PLAN. Multiplying two long numbers required "double length aritmatic" (or even adding if I remember correctly). Like most people over a certain age, I don't like VB and Java etc.
