Well, I've been a member of this forum since 2013. I started with computers with a VIC 20

but was too young to know what it could do really. I studied IT and as part of the Diploma, I worked on Basic and Cobol. I have always been interested in programming but never published anything. I wrote two different Lotto randomizers for my father-in-law and designed a grocery calculator for me (does not work so great.

) but it was the first B4A project.
I purchased a license back then but it expired and for many years I was just making use of other free languages for practice. I'm a bit lazy and I procrastinate with new plans so ideas I had long ago are still only ideas.
Then I saw that B4A is free and I immediately downloaded it. I must say it is one of the best IDE I have used. Currently, I am busy with a new grocery calculator, and this time I'm taking my time on design and streamlining the code, etc.
What I also love about this forum is when you have a problem you just search and you find the solution, you don't even need to actually ask the question, hence this is my first post since 2013.
I must also add that I don't know enough of coding to give people advice on this forum so that is another reason for not commenting on the forum.
When I saw the post from CableGuy I thought it would be the best time to make my first contribution to this forum. You guys have helped me countless times sorting out coding issues and giving new ideas. Thanks for that.
Without you guys knowing it you have also been part of my Internet family.
