"After Simon's basic I went to university and studied computing and economics. From there I joined SCO (Santa Cruz Operation) and worked on their Unix kernel which was something I always wanted to do. I then joined a startup which unfortunately didn't make it but had a lot of fun (implementing an open source J2EE app server). I've since worked for a number of other companies including Sun and I now work for the leading virtualization company."

"Simons' Basic offers not only a solution to the problem but almost makes the 64 into an entirely new computer. (Probably the one it should have been in the first place.)"
