Ah man, QBasic makes me feel nostalgic! My first experiences of programming were with ZX Spectrum and BBC Micro BASIC when I was 5 or 6 or so but that was just simple IF this PRINT that type stuff, or copying listings from books. QBasic was where I first started realising you could do some really cool things with the combination of your brain and programming! I remember a teacher at school used to let us use the computers at lunch to play with QBasic and being very proud of working out how to draw a BMP file (in the days before we had Internet access)... and then a pupil in the year above blowing that completely away with a demo he’d written with pseudo-3D graphics and everything. He later got expelled for writing some kind of boot sector virus and installing it on the school computers. Wonder what he is up to now!
