Heh, this brings back memories :) I'm another one of those who learned their ropes in QBasic, circa 2001. A substitute teacher told us about logo and my 13-year old mind thought you just need to type the commands on the windows desktop to make it work. Imagine my disappointment when it didn't work. So one day we're at my dad's friend home. Their son puts a floppy in, starts a weird blue application, loads a file called GORILLA.BAS and starts the program. Then I understand what's going on: that's something you can write your programs in! Copy that floppy and give it to me! One of my school books had a basic BASIC tutorial so I started typing useless code. Then I discovered RapidQ which was superficially like VisualBasic but didn't cost a dime (at least, that's how I remember it...). So I could make GUIs using a drag&drop interface. Good times :)
