When I say #BASIC, I mean anything from Dartmouth up to and including Q/uickBASIC. I do not consider VisualBasic, VB.net, etc, to be BASIC any more than I consider Javascript to be Java. FreeBASIC and qb64, do count, however.
This is my personal opinion and I'm sure many draw the line somewhere else, but when I use that word, it's somewhere in that range (including Atari, Commodore, CP/M, Altair, etc flavors). #programming
