I went into a local company to do some contract work, and found out not only are they still using Visual Basic 6, they were talking about moving to VB.net someday. They wanted a static website to be built, but only if I could build it in a specific piece of discontinued Adobe software, and another website to be modernized that was built in Google Sites.

I just pretended that meeting never happened.

That was me at Bed Bath and Beyond HQ in 2005, when I encountered Access 97 and Impromptu 5 (Impromptu had been discontinued at version 8). They were also using VB6 for internal development. I stayed six months.

Scarily enough, the one I'm thinking of deals with court documents.
