Re: Bring back Classic Visual Basic

I'm a big fan of PureBasic, though I don't do much coding these days. It does create very small and fast executables, the compiler converts the Basic code to assembly language then compiles it.

Re: Bring back Classic Visual Basic

Turns out the path for "My Computer" is "My Computer" :D
