I sure miss the days of the magazines printing out code for you to type 
into your computer to get a simple game or whatnot.  Spent many a day 
wishing I knew how to type as an 8 year old typing into my Atari 800 
and then my friends Apple IIe that way.

REALBasic or Visual Basic are alive and well.   Not a bad language to 
start with and experiment with.
