Oh man, this is the first time I've ever heard someone else reference GW basic.
When I was 10 or so I convinced my parents to let me put the ibm 286, which previously was sitting in their closet, in my bedroom. (At the time we had a newer computer with windows 98, this would have been just before XP would be released iirc)
GW basic on that 286 was where I taught myself the basics of programming. That takes me back.
