Forgive me for interupting, but the BASIC part of Visual Basic is not there anymore (note the difference between BASIC and Basic). BTW: I find this statement _very_ biased, as you said in your post.

>The key word there is BEGINNERS! I don't think anyone should EVER use BASIC.

The key word is intelligence. And you lack it. (See other posting on the topic VB vs. C).

>It teaches too many bad programming methods. BASIC sucks (it was developed
>for morons)

"developed for morons". Hardly the statement you expect to hear from an intelligent man.

>. At least Pascal is a REAL language. As easy to learn as BASIC
>and much more powerful!

I agree. BASIC is not much of a language. I'd wish you wouldn't mix BASIC and Visual Basic, however.

>Delphi Rules!! VB's for fools!

Oh yes. This really blows me away! What an argument!
