    I know that a hell of a lot of secretaries, HR personel, purchasers, marketers, and managers have demanded that I provide them downloadable excel spreadsheets via websites I design so that they can automate it with their little macros written in VBA. Don't they teach a little of it in most business schools? Aside from which, how many people do you know that went and got an IT education for the money who have no business being professional developers?

    Programming isn't really that hard. Just like writing isn't really that hard. Neither makes it any easier to write masterpieces.

    Wow, with all the outright offensive stuff I write on here, I'm a little suprised to see that moderated down so quickly... guess some of the moderators who told their mom they're "VB Programmers" got their feelings hurt :P
