Thanks for the kind words. Any feedback/criticism is welcome too.

VB is fine for small GUI projects on Windoze platforms. Its certainly 
easier that GUI programming in Python(which you can do using several 
approaches and there is even a GUI builder - SpecPython. But VB is 
easier if its windows.

Personally I prefer Delphi since its more like Python in concept 
and easier to use for larger projects, but if you are working 
alone then VB is adequate.
