Sorry, I took the bait!  VB is a real language also.  I would invite you to spend a little time with the

doing many things you will do with C++.  VB is not the BASIC that you are thinking.  And VB ain't in 
Kansas anymore.  It has grown to be a very useful and productive language for a variety of different 
applications.

Yes speed costs and I will have my app done a heck of a lot quicker than you will with C++.  So I guess
