Visual BASIC still seems quite popular... OK, so it's not basic BASIC,

I saw a notice from someone selling a product - which is being
re-written from Visual Basic. It seems he had to re-write it anyway
as MicroSoft is moving from its old Visual Basic to Visual Basic Net.
He doesn't want to have to re-write stuff every time a proprietary
owner decides to make the old language obsolete, so he's switching to
some other product.
