A little program...

[Pieter Jansegers]

I've just finished this little program this morning.

5 HOME
10 PRINT "Hello World"
20 PRINT
30 PRINT "It's a long time ago I programmed in Basic"
40 PRINT
50 PRINT "I was hoping to create something like this myself."
60 PRINT
70 PRINT "I'm very pleased someone else did..."
80 PRINT
90 INPUT "What's your name ?"; A$
95 HOME
100 PRINT
110 PRINT "I'm glad to know you, ";A$
120 PRINT
130 PRINT "I'm now into microblogging"
140 PRINT
150 PRINT "Like BASIC, it's changing the world..."
160 PRINT
170 PRINT "radically ! see http://microblogs.ning.com"
180 PRINT
190 PRINT "It would be nice to add a CLICKABLE$ command to this BASIC"
200 PRINT
210 INPUT "Could this be considered, please ?";B$
215 HOME
220 PRINT
230 IF B$="Y" OR B$="YES" OR B$="YEP" OR B$="yep" THEN PRINT "Your a nice person, "; A$
240 PRINT
250 PRINT "Do pay a visit at http://microblogs.ning.com"

What the heck ? BASIC ? Yep, indeed...

Yesterday it was BASIC's birthday

I found out about it thanks to Slashdot's newsletter article today, who indicated also an online BASIC interpreter in javascript ...

So for old time's sake, give it a go !

NOTA BENE: in the program the http:// doesn't turn into a link like it does posting it here (I seem not to be able to turn it off, which is in this case a pitty, but only in this case...)
