hmm... i sense a pattern here and i seem to be part of it.

i started programming in gwbasic at a very young age on my dad's ibm pcjr. im 22 right now. went to qbasic, made a brief stop in turbo pascal, got a copy of vb and have been working at that for a few years. looked at c occassionally, but haven't got around to getting any good at it. learned html, working on vbscript too. Vb is where I think i would like to stay, but still got a few holes in my knowledge.

right now (at my "real" job) i program in business basic.
it's a step back, i think, but i've been working in vb on my own.

I actually live fairly near Detroit, in Mount Clemens. I would be very interested in finding out more about your company, Tim. Business basic a pretty good language, but my brain is beginning to melt from the monotonous, clustered programs I have to deal with all day.
you never appreciate why you must make modular code until you deal with years old code and the people who wrote it quit a long time ago <G>
