I *hate* VB, but that doesn't mean that it has no real world usefulness.

In the IS world, VB is the defacto standard for Client-Server database
access.

I personally worked on two such systems, one for a large telecommunications
company in the midwest, and another for a world-wide consulting firm. I
hated it, but I have to admit it got the job done.

Long live Delphi!
