I bought VB3 or 4 with it but couldn't get my head around VB and modules and stuff. I suppose I liked BASIC for the fact that a program was like a set of train tracks, that started at A and went to Z, and you used GOSUBS and RETURNS to branch off then return to the main tracks.

Do you actually work with computers? or are you a train driver?

Let's not get on to polymorphism or inheritance then. My instance of Clapham Junction could be entirely different from your Clapham Junction depending on the constructor arguments we provided when we booked our respective tickets.

The only thing we can be sure of is that Clapham Junction is single-threaded and a potential bottle neck.

LOL !

Yeah I've covered everything from low-level builds, server admin, to non-techie IT management, and techie IT management.

I just prefer a logical, structured approached to things and only waste time with lateral thinking when linear thinking reaches a barrier. That approach serves me well, but may not serve everyone. There's no right or wrong way IMHO.
