Two professors at Dartmouth changed the world.

Anybody remember writing little poems like this in some basement computer laboratory at college?

10 CLS
20 PRINT "Hello, world!"
30 PRINT "I'm learning about commands in BASIC."
40 PRINT "This text is being printed via the PRINT command."
50 PRINT "On the next line, I'll use CLS."
60 CLS
70 PRINT "Finally, on line 80, I'll use END."
80 END
90 PRINT "Now my program is over."
