I think everyone has given Drake plenty of time to show they have an interest in carrying on with PowerBASIC as a commercial product. I'm not alone feeling there is no future investing in PB any longer.
I think an O2 boost would get thinBasic back in the spotlight and the community excited about a bright future.

FWIW:
I ran the thinBasic count to a million benchmark in in Script BASIC as a compare and here are my results.
thinBasic: 0.344 seconds
Script BASIC: (Windows 32 bit) 0.703 seconds.
This is only comparing the execution speed of the FOR/NEXT with a variable incremented.
