a small suggestion:
qbasic.com should have a freebasic section
to further this point, we should have a page on it called "the history of basic" using qbasicnews and the old qbasic.com as a reference to the community.
basically, our past is q/quickbasic, our present is freebasic.
yes, there are still q/quickbasic programmers out there, but to face facts, most OSes don't agree with high-DOS funcionality. I ahve nothing against programming in qbasic, though.
I think qbasic as our heritage is important, but fb is our present (and possibly future)
