I remember having to figure out how port magazine and book BASIC code between the various dialects between the various spaces I spent time in. In the 1980s, my uncle first taught me BASIC on an IBM PC. At school we had an Apple ][+ while at home I had a Coco II and later an Amiga. Another friend had a Vic 20, while another had a Commodore 64. Then came QuickBASIC, QuickC, Microsoft C, C on the ICONs, Aztec C, gcc... 6502, m68k, 8086, i386... Learning about the quirks across systems so early on turned out to be an invaluable experience.
