I spent a couple weeks downloading a pirated vb6 with a download manager that could resume. I think it was 1GB, on dial-up.
Once I had it installed I had like 6mb free space.
I made a bunch of AO-progz and an mp3 player. And a bunch of friends in #vb6 on aol, which I keep to this day.

- chrismarlow9 4y agoChecking in. I learned OSCAR and YMSG before HTTP. I recently tried to find a modern vb6 type setup that wasn't DOM (electron style) based and works cross platform. Best I found was javafx and scene builder.
- sam345 4y agoYou might try Lazarus Ide. Very much like VB6 though language is free pascal. Actively developed, good documentation, and lots of libraries. https://www.lazarus-ide.org/ https://www.lazarus-ide.org/
- duncans 4y agoIt would have been around a few 100MB as most hard drives were less than 1GB back then.
- newusertoday 4y agoto put things in perspective this article is bigger than 100mb so bigger than vb distribution!
- bombolo 4y agoWhen vb5 was around my hard drive at home was 3GB.
