    What happened to a computer language that is intuitive and very easy, that anybody can learn?

    QBasic still runs on every version of Windows.

    I don't think it will be that difficult to find QBasic

    I dont believe this was in the article, but a TOC frame, and then a main page frame used to be an extremely popular design, like This [qbasic.com] But you dont really see it anymore. It would be interesting to know why this is not popular anymore. it technically saves time in loading because the only the framw which has changing content is loaded. Any ideas?

    You know, for starting out, I'd go to qbasic.com. The starting tutorial are really basic (pardon the pun), but there's some actual content.

    I'm guessing that since you've made it through the book, it might be a little simplistic for you, but it would have made a good primer.

    As far as books, I probably wouldn't bother. QBASIC is so well documented on the net, you can probably find what you need there.

    I've a question for you though. Why QBASIC? In fact, why BASIC at all? There are some excellent C compilers for free (DJGPP anyone) and C is a little more useful, though maybe not as easy.
