I am a BASIC boy...36 years on Basic here. 50yo and going forward. Never learned another language but basic (did a little ASM on my old C=64, but nothing serious)

I started with

• QuickBasic 4.5
• BlitzBasic 2D
• PureBasic

That's it with the Basics

The TPV (Point of Sales) program we are using in my shops, was first done with TurboBasic. Years later it was done with AMOS-Pro for Amiga, then it was re-done (or was ported, don't remember) from TurboBasic to BlitzBaic, and now, this year was re-done from scratch with PureBasic. Since the very first version, the database has been compatible within versions. I love most the AmosPro and PureBasic versions...

I think that was all.

Anyway, spectrum basic and purebasic are live. xD

Basic's came with all my computers all the way back to the TRS-80. I had a Commodore with basic and a Sony with basic that had nice color capabilities. But the Basic I liked the best was Future Basic. A great community and a very responsive developer but age and system changes took its toll and I moved on the PureBasic. PureBasic out-performs all the prior Basics and also is easier to use.
