RE: Qbasic ?Sorry... the dark ages go back alot farther than the 1980s! The
ENIAC was built in 1942, 38 years before the "dark ages" :)

PS I didn't see any of those punch cards at ITEC today :( They should
have an ancient exhibit or two just for fun, you know...

It dates back to the dark ages (1980) when you inserted the punched cards
and
the head of form loop you accidently created shot paper up high enough to
hit
the ceiling until the box ran out.
Then you employed a skill, long forgotten, called "debugging".
The current skill is "running the debugger". These should not be confused
as
being the same.
