In 1991, I was using software/languages like Basic, Logo. In 1994, I was using a 386PC having Wordstar, Lotus. In 1996, I programmed in Dbase and Foxpro. In 1998, I decided to switch over to Dos and Pascal. Six Months ago, I used PHP. 1 Month back, I decided to switch to Perl. A year from now, I may be running some whacky software which uses XML and Java, or perhaps a GNOME desktop. duke.
