You could least write a program for DOS and have it run on any DOS or
Windows machine. Because of browsers you can't even do wora anymore
even within Windows.  From a practical point of view, JavaScript and
browsers mean programmers spend more time dealing with tweaking to
make code work everywhere than they did before.  Command line stuff is
great. It is browsers, JavaScript and forms that drive you nuts.

For me, the appeal of computer programming is that
even though I am quite a klutz,
I can still produce something, in a sense
perfect, because the computer gives me as many
chances as I please to get it right.
