Looks fine to me.
Serious though. I'm from The Netherlands, and had the privilige of being a
student of Mark Overmars, the initiator. He once told me, that he was very
enthuosiastic about, don't scare, VISUAL BASIC! That's true, I'm serious.
If you visit Mark's Homepage (http://www.cs.ruu.nl/people/markov), you can see
that he has written SOME software for Windows95, and I'm sure he wrote it with
VB. I also know that the University of Utrecht, where he is head of the
Computational Geometry department, bought some
Windows NT platforms for the students of the first year. They say it is to stay
with the REAL world as close as can be... It can also be af course they're
running out of money to bye SGI's, HP's and SUN's.

Ciao,
