	It's also a dodle to learn, and anyone can be knocking out their
own apps in under two weeks.  They will look pretty and on a modern PC
the
speed isn't really an issue for what you're average home-programmer
comes
up with.  Ok it's slow and clunky in comparison with just about
everything
else, but I still like it....  I certainly can't through out
applications
over a weekend on anything else... Oh and the on-line help is excellent
meaning that I don't need to bury my computer under books to use it....

I hate to point this out but BASIC is "so simple and easy to learn".

But really has this got anything to do with GZG ???
