Visual Studio is free? How can that be? Last time I looked into it, only five years ago I think (ok, maybe ten; time flies) it would have cost me something like $600. When did this happen...and why?

Or is it time for me to buy a C compiler (again)? Or maybe VB Studio, or whatever it's called? (I don't really care for VB as a language; I love it in one way because it's the language in which I first finally got what OO programming is about, but I recognize that there must be languages that do the same thing more easily. Is it time for me to acquire and learn Perl? Python? Ruby? Java?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
