 It seems that *everything* to do with computers is converging,
heading to its end-point. Even programming languages converge.

 In the late 80s when VB arrived, it was obvious that *that* was the
way to handle a GUI, but BASIC sucks. C++ was still stuffing around
with objects the hard way and LINUX was still promising to write a
proper GUI, so I went with Pascal - then Delphi when Borland re-jigged
their TurboVision into a VB clone. Since then, I've watched all three
(C++, VB, and Delphi) come together with Java thrown in as a sort-of
BASIC-clone. Now Windows and Linux are converging...

 The part that I find sad, is that they are converging the wrong way.
