- good shit on being a pain in the ass, Delphi might be "better" depending
- upon your definition. VB is a "better" marketed product. Personally I
- hope that VB gets so stuffed with features that you need a cray to run
- it.

- Like it or not, VB is way bigger than Delphi and when someone who is new
- to programming want's to start I send then to VB - not delphi. Most
- non-programming types have never heard of Delphi (or Borland) but I can
- go down the hall and talk to the director and he has heard of VB.
