And it was Visual Basic that turned me on to Linux. I purchased VB 1.0 for an app I had to build. I paid $120 for it which was a lot of money for me at the time. The app was right in the sweet spot for VB, but being a 1.0 it was unusable. VB 1.1 fixed all the bugs I needed, but they charged $60 for the upgrade. Charging $60 for bug fixes turned me into a Microsoft hater. The next semester I downloaded 386BSD and started my transition away from Microsoft. |
