Hi Luke, I think we should be a bit more sympathetic than that. I once had the very unpleasant experience of being at the receiving end of programming language elitism, and it did not feel nice at all. I guess I'm trying to say: it might not be the best thing to do to vehemently say: "Visual Basic is bad". The problem is that it has a strong tendency to be interpreted as the personal insult: "Visual Basic programmers are bad". And that's not likely to be taken well. *grin* _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
