To be honest, my Dad gets the nod for buying me a VB book that included VB5 back in 5th grade (1997). But, I'll have to say that you (with that AOL-Files.com site) and this guy named "Oogle" inspired me with the "hacker" curiosity by about 6th grade. In this case it was all black-hat though =)
Oogle released the VB source to his "proggie" and I did the exact same thing... I went through the code learning how everything worked and started VB programming on my own... faders, punters, etc, oh the good times. =) What was the name of your prog?
I am so happy to know that the peson who ran AOL-files is an HN member! That site was a goldmine.
- matt1 17y agoI've mentioned AOL-Files a few times on here but no one responded that they knew it, which surprised me, because a large portion of the community was around 15 at he time, which would make them the prime age right now for founding a startup. Thanks for the note; shoot me an email sometime. P.S. For a bit of fader/punter nostalgia, check out these screenshots from my first prog circa 1998: http://www.mattmazur.com/2009/05/revolution/ http://www.mattmazur.com/2009/05/revolution/
