I used to make a living programming in Visual BASIC and ASP before the Dotnet era had changed them. I have a Windows XP Virtual machine with Visual BASIC 6.0 on it and IIS with ASP 3.0 on it. I wrote a few sample programs in VB 6.0 and ASP 3.0 but I don't have any clients to develop for it. I call it legacy programming to write for older languages. The problem is the people and businesses using the older technology cannot afford to upgrade to the latest technology and cannot afford to hire a programmer to write software for them. I also heard that NASA uses older computers like old 8088/8086 PC clones because of the legacy software they have that runs on it that won't run on modern systems. They buy them from eBay because they aren't made anymore. Ironic that they could use a virtual machine with DOS on it emulating an 8088 to run the software, but I guess they need access to the serial and parallel ports that don't exist on modern systems since USB replaced them.
