Subject: [OT] is VB.Net right for me? I want to buy a Visual Basic development program. I want to make an application similar to a terminal emulator, using a serial port, that will run on Win 95, 98, 2000 and XP machines. Would VB.Net be a good choice, or perhaps not? I don't know what .Net means. Thanks John -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
