Mark, I read the posted articles and I didn't see any reference to moving to Delphi. In fact I found statements like the following: That may sound like a win for Delphi, but I actually prefer the Visual Basic model. It's more important... Some Delphites posted a quote from the article (out of context) bragging that the "Author of Hardcore Visual Basic goes to Delphi. Well, rumors of my defection to Delphi are greatly exaggerated. Here's a real quote... None of this changes my mind about Delphi. I admire many parts of it, but I still think the overall model is crude and old-fashioned. I prefer the VB programming model-which is why I feel so bitter that Visual Basic hasn't lived up to its potential. Frankly, I won't be using either of these languages for my future development work. I've looked at Eiffel and Java, but haven't made a final decision. Regards Tom ps: "Crude and old-fashioned" he must be kidding...He sounds like a hack to me.
