As well as a one-wheeled cart pulled by an epileptic camel will get you
from point A to point B, but will it do a good job of the task?  VB is
probably one of the least portable languages I've ever seen, it's big,
slow, and encourages bad programming habits.  The world would be a much
better place if BASIC had never been invented(it's mediocre even at it's
designed task - teaching introductory programming).
