Actually I played with VB a little (for about 5 hrs). It is Ok
I guess as a language. The problem is that I'll be stuck on Windoz 
for the rest of me life with it since that where it only exists. 

And this thought for me is enough to cause me to want go shoot 
myself instead of having to go throug this.

You see, for me, mental tourture means having to use and deal 
with windoz.

I had to work on windoz once for whole long week, I ended having 
to go see a doctor afterwords to take something to calm my nervous.
 
Now I am OK. As long as I am 10' or more away from anything with 
windoz on it. I have a medical release from my shrink giving me 
the right to refuse working on windoz based on a stress related 
medical conditions inflicted on me by windoz.

I show it to anyone at work in case someone asks me to do 
something on windoz for them.

I am a happy man now. Other than that, VB is Ok.

Bill.
