Long Live Visual Basic
I program in Visual Basic 6, which is a language that Microsoft dropped in 2008 for customers. But not as I understand it for themselves as VB6 still works in all versions of Windows and they’re going to keep it way. A man high-up in the company, told me that if they have serious problem, then often VB6 is the way they solve it, as they have so much expertise there. It’s a bit like the plumber, who uses a hammer for everything! But, hey, as someone said to Dan Dare after fixing his spacecraft, “it’s not very pretty, but it works!”
So in the turnout, I’ve found complete sets of Visual Basic 3 and 4, discs and documentation and already after posting to a forum, I’ve had requests for them. I’ll probably copy the discs to my server, so that if anybody wants the software to fix aegacy problem, they’ll be able to do it.
So just like the High Speed Train, Visual Basic appears to be one of those technologies that refuses to die.

High Speed Train and Visual Basic! Surely Steam Train and Visual Basic.
Just pulling your leg.
