Visual Basic. Its a micro$oft coding product for people who can't write in C++ or Java.

Hope that helps clear up the confusion

wait I am aware of VB.
Its different from VC++. Using VC++ you can write C++ code ok and not VB.

What you are saying is object oriented programing concepts.. VB and Java both uses that...OOps faundamental. But you cannot write C++ and Java code in VB...just fyi..

Are you a student or learning VB?
If I can help you.

If someone can shead light on this about Good and Bad about drinking waters it will be good. How higenic and potable is the water?
australian water is safe to drink. Sometimes the flavour in some parts might not be best. It gets too hot to drink straight from tap in summer.

I use a Brita water jug and filter($30 basic setup) so it gets filtered and chilled. You can also get a model that is installed and connected to your tap.
You can also get spring water delivered and a chiller at reasonable rates for larger families.

Victoria Bitter, a Melbourne beer that these old buggers like Grayling & Bix can't handle.
Not as good as Scottish beer but MUCH better than the warm beer they drink in Engerlund.
