Hah! I remember running decompilers (of questionable utility) on various VB-created progs so I could attempt to reverse engineer them.

It definitely got me interested in programming and the early-ish days of being apart of an internet community.

An embarrassing aside: my parents used to give me birthday and Christmas presents that was an allowance of AOL minutes.

More embarrassing: My parents still pay for AOL. $40 a month. My dad is convinced that he’ll lose the 20,000 E-mails he has there if they stop paying.

And he worked in IT his whole career.
