I started with 16bit assembly back in the day and from there went to various flavors of BASIC including PowerBASIC and Visual Basic. Never made the transition to .net. Didn't see a need.

Good advice. I have found some good tuts on Youtube for Python and Tk. That gave me a good start. And I have several websites bookmarked for other tutorials and references. Plus that several knowledgeable people right here who are willing to help. -- <Wildman> GNU/Linux user #557453 "Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man." -Benjamin Franklin -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
