Here's my entire first post, from August 1, 2003:

for a = 1 to 10
print "hello, world!"
next a

I had just bought my LJ account and was feeling geeky. It's a very simple BASIC program that prints "hello, world" ten times.

Ooooh ohooo oooh! I remember that one! Though, we did a variation:
Line 10 print "Hello World"
Line 20 print "Hello World"
...
Line 100 print "Hello World"
Goto line 10

And by pressing the various function keys at each "hello world" bit, you could get the text to change colour.
