I have a lot of fond memories of Visual Basic for MS-DOS 1.0.

I remember saving up for it at high school with my student discount. From memory it was about $120.

Same. My first paid programming job while I was in college was for writing VB 5 software for local businesses. The GUI builder was the obvious star, but you could also write sophisticated programs.

IIRC VB for DOS came out after the Windows version...
