1991: Learning to program in QuickBasic 4.5 at 11 (summer school), we didn't have a PC at home at that time.,When we got the first computer in 1993 I got Qbasic 4.5 (almost the same without linker and compiler). I had to wait for the Internet era to understand the differences between QuickBasic and QBasic.
I remember I once re-sized the partition by manually editing the partition table sectors and tracks (I was 13 at that time). It worked I didn't lose any data. The problem was when I re-sized back the partition to the original size. My mother almost killed me because she lost her clients accounting information. (she is a CPA and used Quattro Pro at that time).
