Somewhat obviously, my name is Erik Siers. I'm one of the [[:Category:BASIC|BASIC]] cheerleaders on RC. (I can do other languages, but I prefer BASIC by a lot.) I've been a member of RC for a long time -- I created my account on August 5th,in 2009 -- but I am not one of the original crew, not by a few years. I don't really do any edits any more; my last meaningful edit (besides this page) was in mid-2018.

Someone remind me to do some work on [[wp:Rocky Mountain BASIC|Rocky Mountain BASIC]]. And [[wp:BCX|BCX]]. And [[:Category:BBC BASIC|BBC BASIC]]. Maybe [[:Category:Liberty BASIC|Liberty BASIC]]. [[:Category:Visual language|Visual languages]] could use work.
 
<s>On the other hand, I need to do some [[wp:MIPS|MIPS]] work. And [[:Category:Kotlin|Kotlin]] (edit: and [[:Category:APL|APL]]) interests me.</s>

My workstation:
*<s>[[wp:Windows 7|Windows 7]]</s> [[wp:Windows 10|Windows 10]], for the moment. Win7 self-destructed, and then the Win10 installer "somehow" destroyed my storage partition, with literally 20 years of downloads... all gone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Time to switch back to Linux, I guess.

=Quote of the Day=
Computer programs written for one platform are doomed to an early obsolescence.
I wish I had started with assembly... or C... or anything other than BASIC,
really. That way, it would've been "Wow, BASIC is so much easier!" rather
than "Wow, everything else is SO MUCH HARDER!"
