It was just an example ;) Obviously it'd be better if he coded Aurora not in java and not in vb6. I know VB6, and i learned to program in it eons ago (and quickly learned that perl is way more awesome) after that i forgot everything about VB6 ,p

He is actually making an Aurora 2 which is built on C++, so that'll be good. It runs for me, but I agree, VB is a horrid thing that should never exist.

I went from Visual Basic(fun) to C++(not fun) to Perl (most fun I've ever had) to Java (rip my hair out unwrapping someone else's object design) to C (stab my eyeballs out)... with various languages in between. Perl is by far the most pleasant to work with, least restrictive, and the least verbose.
