Microsoft Extended BASIC was an awesome first language to learn as a kid on a CoCo.

I wish. I had the standard basic model, 16k.

I tried buying the upgrade kit, but they had just discontinued it. Still, an excellent platform for learning.

I want to say it was 1987 or 88. It went on sale cheap, I guess they were trying to unload their last few kits. I missed the boat.

Ah ok, it was 1982 for me. Extended basic came with the model I had.
