I still have the Qbasic for dummies book my good friend lent me probably 20+ years ago, back then I was playing with Qbasic even though it was old

I remember changes the variables in the gorilla banana toss game that came with qbasic ~ first time seeing changes in programming changing the game and it was magical.

My friend ended up being a great programmer and I'm doing e-commerce front end / project management work. Great times and I'm thankful for the experience

Mine was TI-99/4A BASIC. I wish I had a printer back then because I probably would have printed out some of my programs and I'd love to see what they look like today.
