My brother was studying Veterinary Science back in the day. As part of some lab work they had to do, they needed to look through a microscope and count some types of organisms they say in the microscope. So he had this good idea of creating a simple application that would allow him to enter his data in the computer without having to move his eyes out of the microscope. He did this with a keyboard numpad and a quick VB6 prototype (which I finished the coding part for). Those are the kind of great small programs that VB5/6 allowed people to do. And there were a lot of those small utilities all over the internet. No paywall, no ads, no subscriptions. I miss those days of creativity and sharing for the sake of it. Now the internet is all just SEO, ads and greed. What happened to kids/young Millenials and Zs?
