Thursday, January 20, 1994 - Norfolk, VA

Light dusting of snow this morning, but it didn't last long.
I finally got all the bugs out of my QBASIC program. The main problem was a tiny typo.
Went out to the Radio Shack that was supposed to get in the printer ribbon I need, but the weather had held up deliveries, so they won't have it until Tuesday. I asked about Quick BASIC, which is the compiler I need. They said they could order it for me. I checked the specs, and it should run on my computer. Then I asked the price, expecting the worst. Egghead Software had a price of $330, and Microsoft wanted $495, so I nearly fainted when Radio Shack's price was $79! I ordered it fast.
Roy is still working on the water heater.
