Of course, numbers do say a lot; in this case, you're probably implying that there are quite a few VB developers in the US alone. If that's true, it's just as profound as saying that there are many windows users in the world; it doesn't take much to do anything in windows just like it doesn't take much to write anything in VB. There may be millions of VB developers in the US, but that just tells me that there are millions of people out there that would rather write code quickly and easily and without care, rather than putting forth a bit of effort to write programs in an efficient, respectable, compiled, and standard language like C (for those of you who may be so audacious as to think that C is "antequated", etc). VB is arguably inefficient, by virtue of being made by Microsoft it is unrespectable, and is most certainly nonstandard. I don't have to like VB, nor must you like or use C, Perl, or anything else; just don't think that by presenting statistics you may make a case for VB at all. -- Jonathan Daugherty http://www.cprogrammer.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
