This is a question Old stuff I still know

Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

Quite a few people have mentioned programming in BASIC as an obsolete skill.

Obscure and old maybe, but not obsolete for me. I still use BBC BASIC for coding prototype Windows applications as part of my day job. I get paid to do that. So hooray for that solitary BBC Micro Model B in primary school and for all the mockery I endured as a child for knowing a bit about how it worked.

That is all. PS Hello.

Eh?
I know, and have met, quite a few developers and none have mentioned the need to know how to POKE, PEEK or PRINT in their day jobs.
Do you make games for phones using an interpreter?
