                I hated BASIC the first time around already. JS too, as I dislike interpreters in general. Now, what would you expect me to say to this interpreted interpreter?

                I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

                  WWWBasic now obsolete and unsupported. WWWBasic-v2 is what you should be using and it's not backward-compatible.

                            Two wrongs? Really? Start counting[^]. After that we shall pluck apart good old BASIC.

                              Every conservative bone in my body says "cool, cool" but I don't know that I'd actually go back and start delving into code just to see where I went wrong. Too late to fix it. I'm there too Rainer ...
