Hey,
I am an old guy, 64 y/o. I learned DEC's BASIC-PLUS on a PDP-11 in 1972. I worked in the computer industry for 35 years, and I'm retired now. I wrote Unix kernel mode C for IBM in the 80s, C++ in the 90s, and Java immediately after it came out, I think it was 1996. Furthermore, I used to play around with QBasic, QuickBASIC, Visual C++, and Visual Basic, for home projects. I was fascinated with Microsoft's COM architecture, and fiddled around with that for a while, and same for Microsofts' MFC. I discovered QB64 a number of years ago, but I can't remember how I found it. In recent weeks, I've been participating on the Facebook page for old BASIC. People there were talking about QB64, so I thought I'd dig into that again. I quickly learned that there were two forks of QB64. They recommended I look at QB64phoenix because it has more activity.
