I'm not saying that VB is beneath me, I'm just saying it's ridiculous to expect fresh grads to have experience with it.

- gaius 16y agoI'm not so sure. I mean, I picked up Tcl/Tk at college not because it was ever taught in any course, but because I needed to make GUIs for my own code on AIX (rather than generating a .ps graph on the command line, printing it and looking at it on hardcopy!). It's entirely feasible that an undergrad at a Windows institution would pick up VB on the side.
