Joe,

I've also made a foray into Java.  There are many things about it I  
do like, but I always like the simplicity of BASIC.  The interesting  
thing with FB is, it has the simplicity of BASIC, but it doesn't take  
too long to get to the point that you need to get into Carbon.  And  
Carbon is not a simple thing.

While Java is not as easy to learn as BASIC, and it is more difficult  
to get things up and running as compared to FB, Java is much easier  
to learn than Carbon.
