Some of my best memories from childhood were waking up early on a Saturday morning and hacking in that blue and white screen in a silent house for a couple hours before my family woke up. No Internet yet, so I got this book[1] for my 10th birthday and went through it cover-to-cover probably several times.

Like so many here, QBasic literally altered the course of my life.

Does anyone here remember that feeling the first time you realized the power at your disposal?
