Oh man, they taught QBASIC in my first programming class in high school as a freshman in 2001. We had to make a game, we had to learn about loops using WHILE WEND, and now I can show my kids what I used to learn programming because it still works. This is exciting!

As a continuation of the story, the next year I took AP computer science and we learned using Borland C++. the year after that we learn Java 1.4 for AP computer science. Blast from the past, no?
