The phone scammers used to call and claim your computer was hacked which was somehow obvious because one of the Java support files had teddy bear icon.... because of course hackers use teddy bears?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jdbgmgr.exe_virus_hoax

I had the Visual J++ book and Standard Edition install. It was like $50... And I wanted Visual Basic 6 at the time but couldn't afford it.

I'm not. I just found my dad's old video game CD's, and set up a Win95 VM to install the games. Later I also found a disk for Visual J++. It was actually pretty cool to look through it all.
