   she thought, and not for the first time, that it'd be real handy to have a copy of Visual Basic 5 installed just so she could quickly mock up a GUI to better illustrate her point.

     the worst part? just like the last time I needed this, it was for a post about gender.

     look, everyone's experience of gender is different, and everyone's gender expression has a lot of different influences, and mine just so happens to have more than a little Microsoft Visual Basic 5/6 in there!

     obviously this is because I'm a robot and I grabbed the wrong floppy back around puberty and actually overwrote some vital gender files with the source to a visual basic strategy game I was working on at the game.

     @foone That makes me think I stuck mine to the side of a filing cabinet with a magnet, to keep it safe.

     @ddlyh I made part of one, yeah. never finished it, then reused some of the game design/textures in an also-unfinished C++/OpenGL RTS game

     @foone
     You too wrote a strategy game in VB6? What was yours like? Mine was an attempted RTS about world domination that was going for a storyline about alliances and stuff (I never got very far - I was doing my A-levels at the time)...
