Default RUSTY VB6.0 programmer - HELP!!!

I started out programming vb3.0 in 1997, moved on to vb4 then 5 and then 6.0. In early 2003 I was laid off from my programming job and haven't had a job coding since. I just completely bombed a vb6.0 interview because I just couldn't remember the vb6.0 lingo. I can code but I am seriously rusty when it comes to communicating about it. So my question is ...what kinds of things can i do to really brush up on my vb6.0 quickly!! If the job i have goes i'm screwed!!! :(

Get ahold of a VB textbook, and enter the examples (don't just read them).

The focus that engenders will revitalize the old grey matter...

Start writing itty-bitty programs to accomplish simple tasks. The errors generated will point out the rusty areas.

Skip the whole thing, and take what you know and press it into service learning .NET. I hear there is a dearth of .NET programmers, and it is different enough from VB that some call it VB.NOT; yet it is similar enough that you could probably pick it up multiple times faster than someon who does not know VB yet.
