- Well I've been [disappointed], I hate downloading a program just
- to discover it's a [CanDo] deck. I hate it, especially the older
- version, which in addition to beeing slow, didn't look good (ie.
- didn't follow standard Amiga conventions).
-
- I've tried it sometime, it's ok to start with, but it's as you
- say, Basic, and it doesn't cut it in the speed department.
-
- One thing though, CanDo has been here a long time, it didn't get
- the recognition it deserved (it was Visual Basic long before MS
- thougth of something similar).
-
- Now I've finnished contradicting myself (which would have caused
- me to fail any language exams ever deviced).
