Ah. GW Basic. Memories. On the very first day our household had a PC, they called "the guy". "The guy" was supposedly a PC guru, and he explained to me how to load a program in GW basic. And he put GW Basic in my autoexec.bat so it would launch automatically. On day #2, I had gotten hold of some games on the school yard and naturally attempted to load them in GW basic: "LOAD a:\alleycat.exe". It didn't work well. But I quickly saw the errors of my ways, and was soon whipping up really cool programs in GW Basic, and playing IBM Alley Cat in black, white, cyan and magenta. Good times. Sometimes I think IT as a whole went down hill from there.
