Re: I loved Visual Basic

Me too. I loved that I didn't actually need to know anything about how Windows actually worked. I just created windows, plonked icons into them, and wrote code that "did stuff".

With a tiny little DLL written in C to bit bash IIC using some pins of the parallel port, I created an entire teletext reception system (complete with simple script language) in VB.
