BASIC (Beginners Allpurpose Symbolic Instriction Code) has always been a great starter language to learn the fundamentals and logical thinking of programming.
Newer versions included with many apps are VisualBASIC which does the graphics easily
Before that, BASIC shipped with many versions of DOS going back many years and comes in many versions.
One was called GWBASIC
What did GW stand for?

Hey all
I like the Friday Night trivia thing. Its kind of fun and it breaks up the week. We have been doing it for about 6 weeks or so
Im running out of ideas though
If you have any ideas for a friday night trivia question just post it or email it to me. I will give appropriate credit of course.
We covered a lot of things with these questions. If you want me to dig up some REALLLY obscure stuff I am sure that I can!
LOL https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Please excuse my absence. I havent been on for a while. Everyone needs a break and an attitude adjustment occasionally

Here is something of a trivia question, but more importantly, I want to know this.
Who coined the phrase "Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)" for a windows crash?
Anybody know where this came from originally? I really want to know.
