My favorite VB6 moment was as an intern. I opened a project that lived on a shared drive that wasn't in source control. Visual Studio popped up a dialog warning that I didn't have the proper license on my PC for the parts of the app that interfaced with Excel. Then it cheerfully deleted the offending project files and sections of code and saved it. On the shared drive.

It's like trying to operate a chainsaw without a handle. Whenever I get a new VB project to rewrite I always have to stop and remember "don't touch _anything!_". Then I sneak around like Indiana Jones in a lost temple filled with traps.
