I was lucky to get in on the _Thunder_ VB 1.0 beta and, as an "expert" QuickBASIC developer at the time, was just blown away by how easy it was to create a Windows application (which previously was _very_ difficult).
I remember submitting a stock charting application that Michael Risse and Nevet Basker used to love showing during the VB 1.0 launch demos (and road shows), because they could plot the chart of Microsoft (up and up) vs. IBM (not so up).
For me, VB 3.0 was peak Visual Basic, and I was on to doing Java stuff by the time VB 6.0 was released.

Fun times.
