Al;

I use VB6.0 for professional development and always felt that the use of “me” was childlike. With the advent of VB.NET and inheritance I thought they might term that as “Mini Me”.

There will always be something from Microsoft called VB. Someday it might be called VB Colbol. We thought Cobol was gone twenty years ago but I bet it outlives all computer languages.
