VB 6.0 was what got me into coding when I was thirteen. I am infinitely grateful to it. So many memories working with WinSockets, OCX, and pressing that play button.

On Error Resume Next anyone?

I remember having very heated debates about using Option Explicit and the use of Variant in assorted AIM programming chat rooms.

Fun times.
