Flippin' Heck!! 45 minutes it just took to install VB.Net on my PC... And I still have to go through it all again on the laptop....

It comes with a "Getting Started" manual, a large number of class description Posters and 6 CD's - Yes 6!!!

There is a Windows 2000 SP 4 disk, a 'Prerequisites' disc, 3 MSDN Library CD's and finally the VB.net CD. This has now swallowed approximately 2 GB of my disc space... Good job I have plenty available!

Now all I need to do, is a) find time to go thro' it all again on the laptop, and b) even more time to sit down with the book and work out how to use it. The one thing that is immediately obvious, is, it is very different to VB6.

better put the laptop on charge, I think I need a full battery before I start!
