I'll have to watch this for sure.

Just last week I was digging through boxes of old computer software and found my original VB DOS floppies.

I recall I using VB DOS mostly to build GUIs to complex command-line programs. It was also a pretty good for building installers and to add some polish to things you could otherwise do with .BAT files.

FYI: For anyone interested in the history of Visual Basic, the only good history of the Visual Basic 1.0 project I've seen on the web is Scott Ferguson's page at www.forestmoon.com/.../BIRTHofVB.html

Scott was the Dev Lead and he, Adam Rauch (Program Management) and Nevet Basker (Product Management) were the leads on the project for the three disciplines.

Scott, Adam and Nevet tend not to have spent much time on self promotion but they changed the world and deserve huge thanks from the entire industry.

(And, if Scott, Adam or Nevet see this, my "Thunder... The storm is about to break!" desk clock still works and I want to say here in public how much I personally thank you for letting me be a small part of the project)

Why did they label the downloads for iPod & PSP separately? They're the same file/link. I guess it's for the people who don't understand what .MP4 is.

"Scott, Adam and Nevet tend not to have spent much time on self promotion" Now, mikegalos, on the other hand...

Paul,

You met Raymond Chen, Rico is another person you should probably meet.
