I cannot comment on VB/ASP shops being all bad. I am sure there are some that are at least half-way decent and/or good to work at. Just that they have been sold into a MS-Solution and haven't found anything better yet.

I am willing to learn Java, C++, Python, Delphi/Kylix, whatever it takes to get a job. Even Smalltalk under OS/2, or PL/1 under Plan9, or gasp RPG under OS/390. :)

I currently have a good job lead, but it is PC Support stuff. I could work it until I find a better one.

Just leave them behind.

You could drive yourself crazy, not to mention bankrupt, by fretting about how they screwed you.

I'd say let it go. Close that chapter of your life and start the next one. Spend half your day looking for leads, networking, sending out resumes, the other half learning things YOU want to learn. It will come in useful. Maybe not in ways you expect, but it will.
