QBA17. - QBasic Mish-A-Mash.....

#QBasic #Programming #Tutorials Howdy, fellow Whack-a-do's! Yep, It's me, again! (Like some OTHER fool would be posting this nonsense!) Anyway, this here episode is just a couple of table scraps I had layin' about & wanted to flush - I mean, SHARE wit y'all...

We start out with a handy trick I came up with that I call a "pinwheel", for reasons which should become obvious, then we move on to a discussion of various types of file and/or data compression. Mind you, this is just a cursory overview, far from an in-depth examination of the fleshy details, but hopefully, I have conveyed the basic concepts clearly enough.

Next, we visit our "Supeeriors" segment, this time around featuring an AMAZING electronics information channel called W2AEW, and finally, we sign-off and END this misery once & for all! I just hope you find something useful here & maybe catch a chuckle or two!

'Till next time, PEACE OUT, gang!
