Don't you know, being able to write in Visual Basic is what all computer
professionals aspire to! Rumor has it Windows 2000 was written in Visual
Basic.
I wonder what I learnt at Uni should be called? I used
to program in Algol
(60 and 68), Pascal, BCPL, Simula-67 and BLISS-10... At least one of them
is still current!
OK, I give up. Which one? I'm not aware of Microsoft having any Windows
software by those names, therefore they don't exist, and never did!
