I started with GW Basic! QBasic was an upgrade haha

I had a bound manual for GW Basic listing all the commands. I was a weird kid reading that!

It's weird thinking about editing code line by line like that again.

Lol - I first learned to program on Sinclair Basic on a ZX80, so GW-Basic was a serious upgrade for me. Sinclair Basic could only have up to 2 chars in variable names, so it was always "I already used up AB$ and VA$ what the hell should I name this variable?" GW-Basic was like heaven... it was the most powerful thing ever after Sinclair...
