Dang!  It's 44 years older than me!
(And for those who don't realize it, I stopped having birthdays ages ago.  I only celebrate anniverseries now -- like this year will be the 3rd anniversery of my 17th birthday!)

WOW, BASIC is almost as old as the average QB64 user.

I'm the same age as BASIC! Do I get a command named after me? A golden FOR:NEXT medal? 

I took Intro to BASIC Programming in 11th grade - 44 years ago. Sheesh...
