3- let me contribute to the Fuzzy situation:
my own experience: when i have flu or strong runny nose, i take a tablet or 2 of the natural product St. John's Wort. it is primarily for mild depression. but its action over flu i have discovered myself. in fact i relief quickly if i haven't used St. John's Wort for months, ie the less you take it over time the stronger its effect.
so someone of the doctors check this against coronaVirus please.
there is some old research here about the Antiviral Activity of the St. John's Wort :

No Rene, it's just that thinbasic.com uses a deprecated cryptographic protocol httpS:

In October 2018, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla jointly announced they would deprecate TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in March 2020. Source

Mr Zale have "painted" powerbasic using C language as a brush, unfortunately he died 2 years later.

They did present 32 vs. 64-bit as a false dichotomy, as if you had to choose between one or another. With the right compiler(s), you can write code that can be compiled to 32 or 64-bit without code changes.
