It is a very good lang to star using, and then progress to bigger and better things. To start with a fairly complicated language such as C or PASCAL and so on is like sitting down and opening up a spanish dictionary. It won't make any sense at all. To use BASIC is like common english... with exceptions. Many people(who havn't used basic before) can look at a basic printout and follow it to a certain extent. BASIC is the language for beginners. (And is very logical...contrary to your above comments, it just has to be structured properly)
