The problem is the software manufacturers/programmers TRY to use ALL avail resources the HW can support....including what the languages they are writing in. If we could still create programs based on HW that is 5 years old using programming languages (real ones like C/C++/Java, Basic, early versions of VB....no c# or .NET, etc) then the world would be a better place. This is of course in my opinion which i have dabbled in everything EXCEPT MS languages....wont even go there. Rob
