Geek Speak / What programming languages come with my PC, or how can I download one?

I run VirtualT when I miss the BASIC that was on my old Model 100.
Without downloading something, you could probably code JavaScript. Make a new text file and put this in it:
<html>
<script>
alert("Hello world!");
</script>
</html>
and rename to .htm extension if possible. (Windoze may need to be set to show file extensions.)
Otherwise, I'd recommend you download MinGW and see if you like C/C++, Java, Fortran, or Ada.
After old BASIC, I personally took to JavaScript and then C. There are lots of tutorials on the web.
