Sep. 2009: Basic vs. python by menn
"talk of basic vs. python is a lot like talk about yesterday vs. today. i'm not saying basic is necessarily "yesterday" anymore than python is... python is based on some very old ideas, the c language python's interpreter is usually implemented in is probably even older. what i mean is some of the different pros and cons are probably familiar to people who have found themselves in debates about the "good old days" of coding. everyone wants to use their favorite tool for development, so here are my criteria:..."
Jan. 2008: Classic BASIC games website preview by MystikShadows
"Here we are, in 2007, using what we've come to consider an every day tool. We sit at our computers do whatever we want to do (usually using a GUI of some sort) and program in our favorite language. We live in a perfect harmony (or close to it) of hardware, technology and software that make our day to day computer activities easy to integrate to our schedules and our life styles. Basically (no pun intended) today using computers is part of our lives. However, It wasn't always the case. There was a time when computers were something that only a few people new about and even less people could actually use for any purpose, that is until BASIC saw the light of day..."

Jun. 2007: The Noob's Robot Slave And How To Reactivate It Hartnell
"The FreeBASIC community is an interesting one. It came into being like a phoenix, rising from the ashes of the QBASIC community (even though we still call it the Qmunity). QBASIC programmers have brought with them the long experience of decades. After all, if you know QBASIC, you're right at home with FreeBASIC. Unfortunately, with all these experienced programmers around, it seems that we have forgotten something vital : The Noob's Robot Slave. I've written this article to remind you what that is and give you proper instructions for re-activating it..."
