I once wrote a AOL proggie after reading about AOL Hell and others and seeing them in chat. It was just games, it did include the ability of a mass mailer. It only advertised when you allowed it or thus those things, it wasn't a password mining tool or nothing of the sort. It did attempt to propagate itself if you had allowed it on checked. Via IM or e-mail if someone mentioned the app or something it's various chat games posts, for instance the tag, it would IM info on second mention, allowing instant message or e-mail option of retrieving it. I had seen a red and blue theme one, even grey, I took all the better type of features it could have like just chat games or trivia style stuff for fun and put it into mine, the idea, not the literal code, it did however direct me to planet-source-code.com for examples on windows API, my first experience with pscode.com or on API, it was in 1996. The application color theme of the one I made....

It was black and yellow.

When it started it had a album I scanned the logo too and cropped a intro to a song as the splash screen. Upside down Wu-Tang logo and the intro to "biscuits" with Method Man saying "Represent, represent, represent..." Yellow jacket.

I don't know of anyone else using it not once but myself, or my step brother.

For instance if I seen someone in the channel with it posting, I would say I note someone else used it. That doesn't happen. So... but whatev's..

I wont imagine a "F" in programming because it's not true. I tried Visual Basic 4.0 from AOL, I only had Visual Basic 3.0 learning edition at the time. It was still going on all those mass mailings and things. I did not intent it profit obviously, and still wont you'll be able download my programs until I have a legitimate difference. Till then in looking back, peace.

I did not learn to use it with vb4, my learning edition is what I learned on and with a book Secrets of the visual basic master 3. I don't' continue to use vb4, nothing of my applications are started with it, I start with my vs6 hot off officer auction, it doesn't come with a license or already repossessed stolen goods. I remember the day I got it thinking, what should I make, and starting on max-ftp as my answer. Some where between 1999 and 2000. It's possible reproduction stuff, but that is to the officer's notes, not mine, stolen can often be the same. All I know is an officer was at the computer sale entry taking cover charge. Race track auditorium/cafe with sky roof, just packed with vendors.
