BASIC language.

Dear all:
In the old days of programming, I used to be able to write a few
useful programs for my own personal use using BASIC. I had a commodore
and I could write in BASIC.
Heck, even the friends I had who used IBM 86 series computers had
those computers with basic language.
What happened to that language? All of a sudden, it has been 20
years since I have thought about BASIC. But I now have some programs
that I would like to write. I don't know any other language.
I tried to search for BASIC. However, I came up with qBASIC or
VBasic. They are not exactly the same. They don't have to good old:
10 Print "x"
20 input y
30 ? y*10
40 end.
Does anyone know where I can get the good old fashioned BASIC
which still uses the 10, 20, 30 notation?
I have some simple programs that I want to write and I'd like to
be able to just write them without having to learn a whole new
language. I guess you can call me a simple, home programmer who is an
amatuer and who does not need the complexity that comes with learning
something like Java or Visual C++. [You might think of me as a
computer Simpleton who is not savvy with any real languages--I am sorry
to say].
Please help point me to the right direction. Is there a place I
can still get good old BASIC?
thx in advance.
