I learned C when I was in school.
I have realized that VB has some limits that can't be overcome. I have VC ++ on this machine and I just started playing with it. A simple hello world msgbox is 168KB in size and it takes 4 files.
it is 16KB in VB (I know it needs the vb runtime dll)

Just the overhead in writting a simple program seems amazing to me.
How can a company afford all that design time? it must take three times as long to get simple things done.
I can't even find out how to draw a form that has a simple command button.

PS how do you make a form with a command button in VC++ 6.0?

Now I know why programs in C++ cost so much, it took them a day to make the message box....
