Yeah. I was buying games on CDs in a particular market in my city around &#x27;97. Also VC++ 6.0 was my first real programming environment; I got it from a friend of my dad, I have no clue where he did find it, but it was what turned me into a programmer. I still have fond memories towards that environment.<p>Actually, I was on the phone with Microsoft once, applying for internship. I was asked what is my favourite dev software; I answered something along the way of &quot;VS C++ 6.0, because the 200x editions kind of suck&quot;, just little more politely. I didn&#x27;t get the internship eventually, but I want to believe this was for unrelated reasons.
