Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

It's funny going from MFC to Assembly. Your whole scope changes. Roger Wright wrote: What Assembler are you using? IBM Series/1 BW "Computers are useless. They only give you answers." - Pablo Picasso

- just plain wrong - Tom Archer 5/12/02Yes, I know what you mean. I talk about people on CP as people that I know, and sometimes people say 'I don't think I've met him', and I say 'He's in the US', or 'He's in India'. Then they look at me funny.
