[AccessD] DevConnections interesting notes

What's the difference, Mike?

You can use subset of VB.NET to write code 100%(?) similar to VB6/VBA.

And I'd note that in this case VB.NET will be "the best ever VB6" because it
doesn't have VB6 bugs and "blues". And a developer coming from VBA to VB.NET
will feel so well relieved/healed from long lasting "VBA pains"...

Wow, this is starting to look like the same decision-making process that
went into "the ribbon" !

The first part I agree with, However....
VB.NET should be renamed VOBOL or VBOL or something similar to the
so-verbose and unwieldy and not-so-elegant COBOL language. It's not really
VB anymore.
