Hello, I am the new owner of Qbasicnews.com
Many of you will already know me, since I also own http://www.qb45.com and I have posted here in the past as well.
I have bought this site from Magus, because otherwise it'd be offline for a long time. Now, some things on the site will change. Your suggestions are welcome on the (new!) board.
