I can.
vb2 is more than outdated, its useless.
vb3 is more than outdated, its useless.
vb4 actually came close to having object orientation, SO CLOSE, the drawback was you could only create one of an object... rendering it useless.
vb5 is more than outdated, its useless.
vb6 is now an abandon ware outdated procedural programming language that doesn't even have basic threading, in fact I actually boned my computer trying to fudge it. Procedural programming languages can pretty much be described as completely and utterly useless nowadays, vb6 was the last in a long line of visual basic distributions to not support object orientation. VB.net does, however the .net framework can actually suck my big one. What is the point of running code through a platform (koff idea taken from Java much) if the platform itself only runs on windows? C++ lost its only advantage over Java when Visual C++ came out on the .net platform - speed.
Didn't mean to rant, but seriously, vb6 is useless. Cool as hell to play with when you first start programming, and awesome for mini-projects and hobbiest fun like Mirage, but ask any programmer here who has delved into the realms of an object orientated language and they will tell you, its like comparing a Playstation 3 to an Amstrad =P
