To me, more than enough for as workstations. We are currently running Win95, which is very unsatisfactory over the arena of security (we have FoolProof, which gets broken daily) and stability. After seening my little demostration on FreeBSD 3.2 with KDE, my teacher wants to convert to FreeBSD. However, our currentl entry level computer science classes are done in Visual Basic, which enables my teacher to do much more of the "fun" (multimedia) stuff. I am wondering if there is anything similar to Visual Basic, HyperCard, SuperCard, or anything that resembles click, point, and type? :) Is Visual Basic on top of WINE stable right now? I'm open to suggestion. Thanks for you input in advance! Frankie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
