When you decide to hang up your QBasic hat forever, how about dropping by The QBasic Forum (the old one)
http://www.network54.com/Forum/13959/
and saying goodbye.
There are still many oldtimers who go there. And newbies, if you are still interested in helping them.
The forum has over 1,000 pages now. London did a survey and found number of posts by user. A sample from the middle:
Aliphå 1244
GreenMan 1179
John 1058
Buff 854
The PhyloGenesis 852
deefmaster 833
Kewbie Newbie 808
Josh 796
supaprogramma 783
Gopus 775
LM 759
Agamemnus 722

By the way, www.qbasic.com has a real owner now. For years, it was owned by some investment company that forgot or never knew any passwords and certainly didn't plan to update the site. If you go there, you will see the new owner's forum and one called the original or classic forum (that's us).
