True hacking spirit.
A while ago I had to fix up a data logging program a former coworker wrote in VB6. At the time Windows 7 x64 was standard so I setup a 32 bit Windows XP VM, installed VB6 and opened the project. I was pleasantly surprised by what I encountered. VB6 wasn't a bad language and I was able to find all the information I needed via web search. The IDE wasn't a big mess like the later Visual Studio products were and I found it simple to use. It took me two days to apply the changes and fixes without ever having touched VB6 before in my life. I even made an installer for it. I never touched it again because I never had the need though I sometimes feel that I missed out on something fun when it was all the rage.
