I'm not a VB developer any more: that was me from 1993-1996. I graduated :-) You can write an O(n) + C in wordperfect macro language if you have to: the C will be gigantically enormous but the hardware guys can fix that. As long as it's O(n), it makes money. My last few jobs have been writing ISAPI extensions, ATL, server-side thread pools using I/O Completion ports. My clients have been Sybase, Morgan Stanley, Roguewave, Netflix, the Gap, Siebel: trust me, I'm no lightweight. But I'm no superman nor can I write device drivers or an operating system: ironically those guys seem *not* to make as much money either, even though it's much harder. It just doesn't bring in the big bucks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
