Wow,   QuickBasic!!!

I for one am impressed.  I use VB4 and can do virtually
anything I can imagine.  Been using it successfully
writing CGI programs (now as filters for indexing crawlers)
under Xitami since 1996.

I used to want to use *nix because of portability over platforms
for increased computing power. But I've limited time and resources 
to tackle the task at hand. To say nothing of learning *nix on my 
own.  Time's carrying on. 

When I  development on a P200 machine, then moving the filters to 
faster machines,  over 10x in just clock speed, computing speed to 
the user across the net ceases to be an issue.

Cheers,

Wes
