    Okay, we have John Simmons coding in VB and asking programming questions in the lounge. Would someone be kind enough to give me directions back to my own parallel universe? I'm sure I left the kettle on the stove, so I don't want to be away for too long...

      Yeah, I had to rub my eyes a couple of times and re-read to make sure I was skimming too quickly.

                                    I've just finished spending a few days writing a VB.NET prog that emulates a web GUI (so people can play with it and point and click to see what happens, but without spending a month installing and setting up the infrastructure). I have to say that I actually enjoyed it, but knowing that it would not need to be upgraded or maintained (or actually do anything) gave it a somewhat liberating feel. By the way, since you didn't ask a programming question, I won't mention hitting Alt+F7 and looking through the options, or creating hidden forms, or anything like that.

                                    I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
