Me too .. I started out programming in FORTRAN 4 in 1970, punching cards by manual hand punch.

Since than I've written in ALGOL, COBOL, DIBOL, PASCAL, BASIC, C, various Assemblers and, even FORTH. I did once try to get to grips with PROLOG, but didn't get very far. However, I have suggested that Ai-Ai and I should try working together on learning JAVA - we'll see how that goes.
