It’s a very different thing from what I had originally set it out to be. So I tell the story: it’s like sending your son off to college and he comes back graduating with honor, summa cum laude and a sex change operation. And you have to go: “well, you know, that’s my boy!- I mean, my girl!”… you know, you kinda have to take your pride in their accomplishments… I am the father of Visual Basic, regardless of its gender.
