And rightly, but that's not Visual Basic.  BASIC is that garbage they tried 
to teach me in high school twenty years ago; Visual Basic bears very little 
relationship to it.  It still won't do what I need to do, you understand.  
But rejecting it based on your old "Advanced BASIC" book just isn't 
justified.
