I don't do paid hacks, I do them for fun and learning. I think once I start doing it for pay, it won't be any fun anymore and I'll stop. Too many coders have gone the way of the paid hacks and are getting money for what a lot of them learned on here for free. I don't get it, myself.
I'm glad to hear you are liking vb. I came to 3.7.0 beta 3 straight from 3.5.4, so you can imagine the shock at all the changes, some welcome, some not, since 3.5.
I'll have to take you up on the getting together as soon as we can figure out where and when one of these days.
