That's about it, unless other people toss other ideas

Yes you can, but Filemaker Pro is a much better, and easier solution than VB. And best of all you get it free in this years software package.

A use for any language like that is beyond anything I can think up. If ANYTHING...an HTML editor would be used...but then again, no one should use an HTML editor Maybe the new controllers _don't_ use PBASIC  (I will quit robotics if it were to ever switch to Visual Basic )

In a recent zdnet article said that Microsoft was porting its server components to linux, because they want to expand their services. I don't have the link, but it was a recent story.
They also might be porting .NET server to Mac OS X server to, but it is sketchy at best if they will pull through with the port.
