Happy birthday PureBasic.
You are the best!

Thanks people!

Question: What is the status of the non-functioning mnemonics in the IDE?
(ref: posts release PB 4.50)

Nice game.

Works fine here. Music, FX and ticking clock sound.
(XP pro / SB X-Fi Audio 9000 / driver 6.0.1.1373)

Thanks for creating and maintaining this superb product!
Although I have almost no time to browse the forums, I use PureBasic intensively.
Mostly for creating small and user specific apps. I like to call them PureScripts

Keep up the good work!

But I think it's a lot easier to get a refund in the Netherlands, isn't it?
I'm not sure. As an employee it depends mostly on your contract.
