until my head clears up and I get used to the new medicine.

VB is nice, but yes I do eventually want to write Linux apps. Delphi/Kylix is also an option but I seem to have a hard time downloading the demo CD from Borland. Either their servers are slow, or my DSL ISP is crap. I can download the Squeak and VisualWorks Smalltalk files just fine, just not the Kylix or Delphi trials. I'll try again later on tonight for the Delphi trial using wget and see if that makes a difference.

I suppose I could use VB for now, but I cannot even think clear enough to write VB code. Sad but true.

I suppose I could write something in VB first, and then learn Smalltalk, or Delphi/Kylix and convert it later. Would that be ok?
