The author of the Internet blinker I'm using couldn't find a use for the
bloat in VB 3.0 and purposely chose VB 2.0.  See
ftp://ftp.mcs.net/mcsnet.users/jvwater/ or
http://www.mcs.com/~jvwater/galahad.html for details.  So VB's problems
have gone unresolved for quite a while, probably due to MS marketing
combined with the lack of excellent competition.
