DoEvents Sucks

So what do ya think? I believe Microsuck did DoEvents on purpose to keep VB slow.
I think microsoft created visual basic for people who doesn't have a lot of background in computer science. Microsoft did a very good job of hiding many computer science concepts from visual basic programmers. This allows people who doesn't really know a lot about computer science to still be able to write programs that run on the windows operating system. In my opinion they did a very good job of that and that is the #1 reason why visual basic is as popular as it is today.

Now if you want to create powerful high speed algorithms, you need to learn a language ment more for computer scientist. My best advice is to learn C++ and later on learn assembler. But know that it takes disipline to be able to program in C++. It probably takes about 2 to 3 years of learning before a person can really wield the power of C++.
