VB is great for business apps and database stuff.  It's also a good
stepping stone to a better RAD environment, Delphi.

It is _not_ good for near real-time applications.  Using a VB app to do
nothing but deal with inputs is fine, but if you're trying to run it all
from a VB app, you're going to find yourself quickly behind the curve
unless that machine running it is VERY, VERY fast.
