Other Tiny Basic Resources

Here are a few other Tiny Basic resources on the Web:

Chipmunk Basic - many links to various Tiny Basic resources, including (what I surmise is) the original Sherry Brothers Tiny Basic source code that I based my work on.

A Brief History of BASIC - a bit more on the history of the BASIC language and Microsoft's involvement.

Obsolete Computer Museum - nothing really to do with Tiny Basic, I just put this here 'cause I think it's a really neat site!

Computer History 1946-1997 (dead link) - An impressively detailed timeline of computer and microcomputer developments. Unlike most, this even includes events from Canada's computer history (though they did miss the Inter Alia computer). Even though Tiny Basic isn't specifically mentioned, this timeline helps put its development into the context of the events happening around it.

Since I first created this page, this has become a dead link, but as Daniele Forsi pointed out to me, one can always use the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to see these old pages; this one is available at http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.siliconspirits.com/comphist.htm

The late '70s - early '80s was a heady time in the world of microcomputers. I'm very glad I was involved in that scene -- some of my most pleasant memories are of this time, and of some of the events mentioned in this timeline.
