A while back, digging into an old DO NOT DELETE backup folder in one of my old hard drives, I stumped upon a folder called parchis, and for a moment I held my breath until I found some *.bas files there!
So what?
Well, I just found the lost source code of my very first project, the one I coded while learning about variables, procedures and loops, the one that made me realize that this is the kind of stuff I wanted to do as my professional career and hobby.
