- No. Not a chance. No Windows program has ever been programmed in C. Ever.

- Because VB sucks. The memory management is really bad, there are limits
- everywhere (64k limits), and you have to use the Windows API for anything
- useful. And anyone who knows C won't like the fact that VB doesn't have
- pointers.

- This is coming from someone who used it for over a year and then
- saw the light and went to C under Linux. Just ask the people in
- comp.lang.basic.visual.misc about my VB experience.
