Hello, World

Well, I've finally gotten on the bandwagon and decided to do a blog. This is my first entry. I'm a former computer programmer, and it's an old tradition that the very first program a programmer created (when learning BASIC, that is) was to print the the phrase "Hello, World" on the screen. The code looked something like this:

10 print "Hello, World"
20 end

and that was it, generically. you went on from there, learning abot program control and all of that. Now, with event-driven programming and all the rest, it's quite different. I wonder if the first lesson still gets you to print "Hello, World" on the screen somewhere?
