[poll] How did you discover Euphoria?

We've probably done this before, but here's the question: when and how did you
discover the Euphoria programming language?

Let's see... I had just built my first PC compatible computer and I was using
one of those AOL disks to access the Internet over dial up. I was searching AOL
for free programming languages and I came up with both Liberty Basic and
Euphoria.

I read the docs on both and it was no contest, really -- I just loved the
simplicity of the language. It kind of reminded me of a language that I had
gotten for my Amiga called 'E' (which I got through a magazine diskette) but more
consistent and powerful.

I know that I still haven't written any kind of Magnum Opus yet, but even after
what -- 10-12 years now? It's still my favorite.
