Does anyone have any suggestions for a program to write?

I have pretty good working knowledge of VB 3, but I think that it could
only help for me to learn more about the Windows API.

Would a screen saver be incredibly hard?  Or maybe something that
analyzes hardware?

Thanks....

Writing screen savers in VB3 or 4 is not hard at all.  You just need to do some research on code that you'll need for incorporating password protection
that's compatible with the Windows password scheme, how to show/hide mouse pointer, set topmost, screen capture, use BilBlt or the WinG APIs, get around the
palette conflict problem, collision detection, creating transparent bitmaps, etc...

No, screen savers are very easy!  Look in the mictosoft knowledge base
(www.microsoft.com) for more information.  If you need a pogram to write
useing the API, try a program that will keep any window on top all the
time, just like the windows clock.  This is quite tricky but hay, i did it
and i am not even 15!

give me a shout if you are in need of help,

Suggestions for programs to write?
Well, a good place to start is with some of your local BBS's. Post a few
messages asking the users what kinds of programs they would like to
see (something unique). Offer a free copy to whoever suggests something
that you build.
I did this on one small BBS and got about 30 different suggestions.

Screen savers aren't to hard. Look at the VB Knowledge Base for an article
on the basics of it.
