Why is BASIC totally left out? An entire generation was inspired by power-on basic in C64 and other platforms. More than just "inspired"... Some huge amount of today's technology wouldn't exist otherwise.

  I know I'm stuck in the past, but that's what I want for my kids.  Flip open the laptop and boom, theres my programming environment, except now with easier graphics/sound APIs.

Anyone know how to get this, without buying a c64 + CRT monitor?
