How is a color palette* any more complicated than an array of RGB values (or other types of values, in the cases of non-RGB or non-24-bit), which may or may not be written in a file?

The biggest problem with vb is that while it can teach a user to think of charactors as being represented as numbers (ascii codes), it doesn't generally allow much room for an end user to realise that numbers can be represented as charactors in exactly the same way -- or at least provide a reason to realize such a thing.

[edit] That is, the biggest problem IMO when it comes to "real" programming such as with sockets or otherwise when numerical data must be transferred. :)

I didn't say it's impossible to do, but it lets face it, sockets clearly were never intended to be one of VB's shining features. VB was designed for the programmer on the go. It doesnt even have unsigned variables!

Nor do several other languages which are used in failsafe environments every day.
