Okay, I agree GOTO is not of my concern. I make programs mostly for fun

and to learn understanding how Windows has been put together.

But I wanted to advice the programmers that write programming languages

 for us (the non technicians to buy) to keep it SIMPLE for us.

We don't need to be productive as Microsoft.



If those "superb" fast and structured methods were designed to make

us productive, we would only buy Visual Net.



I know that some programmers are using OOP to boost their productivity.

But we (the consumers) just want one listing with no fuss no complexity.

GOTO is alright.
