> One of my fondest memories in learning to program as a kid in the late 90s, was writing windows 98 UI clone in QBasic.

I did the same although trying to create a Unix GUI (in a purely visual “I’ve seen this in the movies” sense) and I did it in Amos Basic.

Needless to say it wasn’t a great success, but it provided me with the foundation for a making couple of neat-looking applications which actually did useful things (to me).

It was slow as heck, but I had great fun doing it.
