In the land of HP, where BASIC resides, There are many versions, oh what a surprise! Let me tell you a tale, of the BASICs so grand, Created at HP, by a talented band. First, there was Time-Shared BASIC, so old and so wise, For the HP 2100 series, it would rise. In the 1960s, it came to be, A language for minicomputers, you see. Then came Rocky Mountain BASIC, full of might, Transferred to Keysight, shining so bright. For HP 9000 and other platforms it was made, With HP-IB instruments, a perfect aid. Next, we have VSI BASIC for OpenVMS, Created at DEC, it's truly the best. Once known as HP BASIC, now in new hands, For RSTS, VMS, and many more lands. In the 80s, HP created BASIC anew, For the series 80 desktop computers, it grew. A language for coding, so easy to learn, With HP calculators, it took a turn. Lastly, we have the Prime Programming Language, oh so fine, For HP calculators, it's simply divine. From the 38 to the Prime, it's a coder's delight, Once called "HP Basic," now shining so bright. So there you have it, the HP BASIC tale, A journey through versions, without fail. No matter the language, it's creativity's key, In the world of HP, where imagination runs free. Random page: MOBIE
