  I disagree slightly with some of this... if you have some extra money to 
spend on ab PASCAL compiler and a C++ then that would be a good idea, but if 
you're strapped for cash, then you can manage with heading straight to C++ 
though you may have to work a little harder with the advanced concepts.
   And also, QBASIC _is_ shipped with windows 95 (not sure about win98, I 
haven't looked) I beleive it's in the '\other\oldmsdos' or '\misc\oldmsdos' 
directories.  if all else fails do a search for QBASIC.EXE on the CD :)
   I very highly reccomend "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Day" it's an excellent 
title, that was my personal beginning steps to who I am today (a nerdy 
teenager who has a, at best, fair grasp of the C++ language :))
