"Hello, welcome to CF" in every language

Write the most concise, but clearly readable program according to this specification:

1. Say: "Hi! What's your name? "
2. User enters name.
3. Say: "Hello, (username)! Welcome to ComputerForum!"

You can also use a simple GUI, like a dialog box, to ask the question, input name, etc

Try not to hog too many languages. Give other posters a fair go at posting their example too. If you are posting an alternative version of code for a language that has already been posted, mention that it is an alternative version.

C
Code: 
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
        char name[64];
        printf("Hi! What's your name? ");
        scanf("%s", &name);
        printf("Hello, %s! Welcome to ComputerForum!\n", &name);

        return 0;
}

Simple but effective

Batch
Code: 
@echo off
echo Hi what's your name?
set /p name=
echo Hello %name%! Welcome to Computer Forum!
pause

:D Someone else who knows x86 ASM! I hate interrupt programming :p

Code: 
import java.io.*; 

public class ReadName { 

   public static void main (String[] args) { 

      System.out.println("Hi! What's your name?"); 

      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); 

      String userName = null; 
      Int good = 0;

      while (! good)
        try { 
           userName = br.readLine();
        } catch (IOException ioe) { 
           System.out.println("Error reading name, please try again.");
           System.out.println("Hi! What's you're name?");
           continue;
        } 
        finally {
           good = 1;
        }
      }
      System.out.println("Hi " + userName + "! Welcome to Computer Forum!"); 

   } 

}


C'mon, I am sure there is someone who knows a programming language not listed here!

I was thinking about writing the java version before. If you are going to call it C++ at least C++ize it :p

Since this is a correctional post, I'm not counting it as doing more than 1 language
Code: 
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main(void){
  string name;

  cout << "Hi! What's your name?" << endl;
  cin >> name;
  cout << "Hi " << name << "! Welcome to Computer Forum!" << endl;

  return 0;
}

Basic Stamp

Code: 
 serStr  VAR     Word
 waitin  VAR     Byte

Main:
DO
    DEBUG CLS, "Hi, how many characters in your name?",    CR
    DEBUGIN DEC waitin
    DEBUG "What's your name?"
    DEBUGIN STR serStr\waitin
    DEBUG CR, "Hello, ", STR serStr, "! Welcome to ComputerForum."
   PAUSE 5000
  LOOP
END

I spent waaaaay to damn long on that for the result >.<! But I learned a lot so I guess thats cool : /. I need to play with my stamp more often, granted pics are so much cheaper and better. ;)

P.S. This only works for BS2 on, BS1 users need to change some things.

Sorry, I don't know how you put thing inside a box like that.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class HelloCF

String name;
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);

System.out.println ("Hi! What's your name?");
name = scan.nextLine();

System.out.println ("Hello " + name + "! Welcome to Computer Forum!");
