History is good to know

and it will be a cold day in hell when I don't use a link form wikipedia

I always worry about the salesmanship effect, for example  when I ask a
vendor about there own products, or use books about VB from  MS (I sent them
all the the LFFS a few years back). What happens is... I get lots of info
about how wonderful things are (and it may all be true), but I don't get the
pitfalls and traps (that would make the product look bad).
