I absolutely loved VB3 thru VB6!

The joy of installing VB4 from something like 20-30 numbered 3.5in floppy disks. Now a patch for a modern game that fixes a typo is 2 gigs.

That one of the floppy disks I had for installing VB4 got corrupted due to my idiocy was what got me into Linux and Java, perl, and PHP at the time. Still nothing as good as original VB for GUI stuff.

Me too! I have VB3 opened right now in Windows 3.1 on qemu. I have not done anything serious with it in a long time though.
