>Exactly! Silly Dilbert-comic managers! If Fox developers are a little more expensive, but can work faster because of the nature of Fox, but VB developers are cheaper (but can't work as fast) these managers end up taking the penny-wise/pound-foolish road and end up paying more for the development of the whole system and getting it up and running later.

From what I am hearing from management Visual Basic programmers getting paid very high.
I am speaking of Programmers here not amateur who think they know VB and as it seems like managers having very hard time finding a VB programmes "the real one"
