Quite.

Except I never claimed to have had a home computer in the 1960s.

And it was supposed to be Bill Gates who said back in the 80s that he
didn't think anyone would need more than 64k of RAM. But maybe that's an
urban legend. I've got Bill Gates' book - I'll have to look it up,
though I'm not sure if all of it is to be believed. He claims to have
written the BASIC interpreter for all the desktop computers at that
time.

Bully for him. I hope you were impressed.

Writing BASIC interpreters is trivial.

I never claimed it wasn't trivial. ;-)
