An article by Paul Kimmel on Developer.com entitled Where is Visual Basic 7? provides no answer, rather a guide to convincing one’s boss of the benefits of switching to Visual Basic.Net. Guess that’s the answer, there won’t be VB 7. 10:56:36 PM

Not quite zero From the Washington Post’s live online chat with media reporter Howard Kurtz. Annandale, Va.: Is there any data to show how much influence a paper's editorial page views have on circulation? Howard Kurtz: Probably zero. Except perhaps in the case of the Wall Street Journal, most people don't buy a newspaper for its editorial page. They might buy it for news, or features, or sports, or movie reviews or ads, but the edit page is not likely to be driving a lot of newsstand traffic. Tell that to the Toronto Star telemarketers I hang up on and will continue to until the Star takes a fair stance towards Israel and Middle East. 12:58:12 AM
