I'm just getting my feet wet with USB. I currently have PBP (2.60C). I'd like to get some recommendations, before I get too far into this project:

1) Is there any benefit to upgrading to PBP 3.0, specifically for my USB experiments?
2) I have very little experience with VB6, but some experience with VBA (in Excel). Back on post 248, Steve said, "...VB6 being a dead duck for ages now...". I _have_ VB6, but was wondering if there was a more current alternative (other than going out and trying to learn a completely new language, like C)

Any tips would be greately appreciated!
