lol, that brings some memories ^_^

I'd help you ... if I'm able to find that book about QBasic programming -_- ...

Ok, something from my mind, lol

CLS
INPUT "Enter your name: ", Name$
PRINT "Hello, "; Name$; ". How are you today?"

Anyway, Google is your friend ^_^ ;)

lol, I remember it being my 1st computer language (actually, it was pure Basic, not the QBasic one) that I was learning, that was when I had that old MSX computer (hm, I must still have it somewhere, duno if it still works, lol).
