And he'd be right. It isn't. But who cares? If you have an app that spends 
most of its time sitting around waiting for the user to do something, then 
it doesn't particularly have to be. An end user doesn't care about 
efficiency of coding. He cares whether your app does what it claims to do, 
and without crashing. That's it. I've never approached my programming from 
a programmer's point of view - I always develop from an end user's point of 
view. I'll be the first to admit that my code isn't the tightest or most 
structured. But that's not VB's fault - that's mine ;)

Lovely ;)
