On the brand new and shiny 486 running dos and windows 3.1 that my father bought, on the qbasic language. With only a paper book as reference. No llm, no stackoverflow, no pageranked search engine, no internet, and not even Ctrl+F. In these days when you had a bug, you could chew on it for days.

- jaredsohn 9mo agoSimilar for me but maybe on a 386; used this 1989 book which had its own version of quickbasic called qbi since qbasic only got added to ms-dos in 1991. https://www.amazon.com/Learn-Basic-Now-Mike-Halvorson/dp/155615240X https://www.amazon.com/Learn-Basic-Now-Mike-Halvorson/dp/155...
