Hi Melanie,

Yeah, I know, not everyone likes Visual Basic or Microsoft products "period" for that matter.
Personally, I'm glad that Melabs doesn't release software the same way as Microsoft.

Although there are definitely CONs (i.e. program size), I like VB, but to each his own. I chose VB as a template for basic syntax because that is the type of basic that the majority of people that are programming in basic use. The idea being that it may make programming MCU's less frightening for newbies but still powerful enough for pros.

Have a good day.
