Wait a minute, I DIDN'T SAY "better".  I just said that it's very complicated 
and I hope that you agree with me on that one.  Assembler is in fact one of 
the most complicated languages that there is, even though it is "better" than 
any other one because it is so powerful.  However, I think that for a 
beginner it is better to start with an "easy" language like VB and move on 
to more complicated ones like C++ and Assembler later on.

About VB.  I disagree.  I understand that isn't a powerful language and 
there are to many things that it lacks of (ex. pointers), but you can still do a 
lot of stuff with it.  About drawing objects - have you ever really 
programmed with VB or did you just read a book and did a few examples?
Yes, it is true that all the GUI interface is in fact like drawing, but the 
programming part of it is still the same - you still have to code stuff for 
your program to work, and what the hell is that, if not programming?
