Hello,

Even though MS has discontinued support for VB6, will the microsoft.com site
still support the VB6 forum?

If not, can you recommend a comparable VB6 forum elsewhere?  In other words,
where will most of this community go?

Thanks - Dave

Go?  Nowhere.  These groups will be around for a long time.  There are still
Win95 newsgroups available on news.microsoft.com

I was looking for a newsgroup for DOS, but I don't think Internet
access was popular for DOS systems. I remember alot of forums on
Compuserve at one time which I thought was pretty neat, it was
more expensive than BBS browsing but the information was quite
swell, better than what could be found at most BBS.

Well, the first time I connected to a BBS, I asked the "sysop" whether the
BBS was free. He responded with "Nothing is free in the world except the
stars and the sun and the moon". I immediately hung up!

If I could go back in time by around 10 years, I would have sold my current
P M laptop for US$ 700,000....

You can also post at DevX (http://forums.devx.com/index.php?) if you don't have a web based forum
phobia.
