    It seems obvious, the language is called English, the people who speak it correctly are called the English. The people who love to rape it publically are called 'Americans'. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 C# will attract all comers, where VB is for IT Journalists and managers - Michael P Butler 05-12-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

I'm going to try to get the next version of ResOrg ready to go too, though my concentration isn't the best at the moment so I'm not making any promises!

    It's seems Mr. Tshabalala-Msimang would be a tough opponent to Mr.Bush for the Olympic Games, category morons :-D One small village of indomitable geeks still holds out against the invaders.
