My programs at 11 were just Visual Basic 6 for an IE scrapper/clicker and making HTML websites in Dreamweaver 6.

Not sure why the 6 was so popular for many programs then. It was for sure Photoshop 7 era.

My guess is that it was the last version of Visual Basic before they moved over to VB.net -- it was easy and simple, and didn't aim for industrial strength.
