Fun Qbasic code lol... yes its ancient

[hecktic]

I just dusted off the old office PC... I think it has a Cryix processor in it or an older Pentium... not sure but it has an old old copy of DOS and was loaded at the time we purchased it in early 1980s with some games like commander keen (I think that was the name for the early version of what later become duke nukem)

Anyways it has a copy of Qbasic on it and so I dusted it all out inside and out and was wondering if anyone had any fun code I could run on it I guess for kicks and jokes just to see how fast it will go... Im surprised the thing is still running... old peice of junk was more than $10k at the time lol

If i remember correctly, QBasic was the first programming language we used back in school.. still remember having to compile and write my first program complete with flow charts and all :eek: Seems like a lifetime ago. ;)
