Can you forward some examples?  One of my presentations is a comparison
of Windows and Linux and this would fit in very nicely.

Also, got names for those tomes or, better yet, online resources with
real examples, or even keywords to search on?

Yes, but that's because you're studlier than the average geek!

I've never worked in a VB shop for more than a year, so I've never seen
the chaos due to a new VB coming out.  What does it entail?  Do they
actually have to recompile everything?

I remember back when ADO was introduced to replace DAO (or was it the
reverse?).  My attitude at the time was to keep using DAO because it
still worked; I saw no reason to change all the code to ADO.  That isn't
feasible?
