charles stoyer <cstoyer@interpex.com> decided to share with us
the infinite reservoars of wisdom:

>BASIC stands for "Beginners All-purpose ? Interpretive Code" 

Actually it's "Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code".
But VB does not deserve the name BASIC. I can't understand why
the stupid masses still think of VB as BASIC.
