I confess, despite my conversion to C# I first learnt to code in VB and there's nothing you can do about it!

Even with voting, we couldn't do anything about you learning to code in VB. Depending on what you were working on, VB was possibly a fine choice.

VB?! You young whipper-snappers, with your "visual" this and your "inter" that! I learnt to code in BASIC. On a Sinclair Spectrum. With line-numbers. And single-letter variables. And no functions.

On our quiet nightshifts as a tech, I first really started messing about with VB3, then onto VB4. I wrote a well testing application for the shift, as a standard approach for all the techs to use to minimise human error factors when calculating the test data traditionally done by calculators. and then poorly controlled spreadsheets. Then the other shifts adopted it. It saved about 25minutes man time per test, and usually did 1 test per day, so you can see the savings it made. And it generated a standard html output as a report that could then be attached to an email for sending to town. I got a spot bonus which was probably not far off a months wages (after tax) for my efforts. So VB has to be thanked for that!

Sadly no, but I spent a lot of time at a friends whos father owned one. Still have the printouts from a couple of games. My parents never saw the point in computers, so my first own computer was bought a bit later for my own hard earned money at my summer job. It was a used 6MHz IBM AT with an EGA monitor, 512kB RAM and a 20 MB double height harddrive. That harddrive outperformed most other drives for many years. It also outnoised them. ;P
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
