Default PLEASE READ IF YOU PROGRAM: Help Continue Visual Basic

do you honestly disagree that VB6 / VBS / VBA is the most popular
language in the world?

VBA may be most widely used because it's pretty much all there is in
Office apps, and there's likely more Office users than all the full
time programmers in the world.

VBS? You're joking. If you mean in web pages, it's gotta be WAY BEHIND
Java and PHP.

And VB 6 is only a few short years away from end of support cycle
oblivion. It won't matter how popular it may have been if no one in
their right mind would use it for NEW projects.

im sorry that you're an APPLE / MAC / EXCEL kiddie.. but there are
better thigns out there than using
PowerBASIC, RealBASIC or TrueBASIC

True. Perl, Python, Ruby, C++, Java, even C#. I don't like BASIC in any
dialect.

I USE THE BEST VB IDE IN THE WORLD.
....
MS ACCESS MOFO

Oh, so relevant to most VB 6 developers. The future, like it or not, is
VB.Net or VB 9, Visual Studio and LINQ.
