Back to [1]#BASIC ?* Maybe!* I'm not embarrassed to be on a
   Windows machine. Oh now [2]#ThinBASIC - you're gorgeous.* I love
   how anti-trendy it is.* It's [3]#Windows Only.* You get access
   to everything Windows can do.* " [4]#RealProgrammers consider it
   "only [5]#Scripting " yet it compiles to EXE files just fine.
   You don't have to write a whole big stinking system in order to
   GET STUFF DONE.* One of the test applications opens up Excel,
   fills in some Cells and closes it. Direct control of Excel that
   I can compile to an EXE and distribute?* I like it. Active
   system that's has a strong user community who is making games
   and applications? A language that's SUPER EASY to learn, even
   for non-programmers? You can control your Windows computer with
   it?* Yeah.* I like it. It doesn't play well with Linux?* Doesn't
   play well with Android?* Doesn't play well with iPhone?* Doesn't
   play well with Mac?* YOU MEAN WE'RE ON DIFFERENT OSs?" Yes, yes
   we are.** THIS one is just for mine.* I like it.* I'm not
   running Linux natively, nor am I running a JAVA virtual
   machine.* NOR am I worried about compiling to XBox, Playstation,
   Wii U, 3DSXL I just wanna make my computer do stuff for me and
   maybe release something awesome that regular ppl with basic
   common Windows systems can run. Maybe I can do that with this.*
   First impression?* Impressed. Makes sense.* I'm on a Windows
   machine.* I should use a Windows language that compiles Windows
   software that can be used on Windows system. Elitist?* Nope.*
   Practical?* Yes.* [6]#thinBASIC - a renegade that got my instant
   attention. [7]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThinBasic
