well you mean as easy as Visual Basic ??
well, I don't really see ppl program in Visual Basic as programmers. Usually 5 out
of 10 Visual Basic programmers are from CIS major and the other 5 are MCSE
certified, these people don't really understand what is progrmming,they are just
trained to use Visual Basic to make a program, but make a program is not
programming (hope you understand, poor soul). If you want to have Visual Basic
experience on Mac, go for Real Basic.

yes.. you might not be a liar, but who could really tell which one crash more ?? If
you use communicator more, you'll certainly see communicator crash more, if you use
ie more you certainly see ie crash more ... hahahahaha...

you've been working in the which field for 10 yrs ?? do u mean programming?? then
you must be a CIS major, according to my Computer Science professor, you should at
least be working as a system analyst after 10 year.. ~_~

Apple won't make Visual Basic Stupid .... Code warrior is good enough.

I don't think Macintosh would need a programmer like you . ^_^
