microsoft.public.vb.controls is a VB "Classic" group (what... ever)

Ooooh, does this mean we get to tear into the creators of VB.NET? I
wouldn't mind a go at that!! is it free? or do I have to purchase an MSDN
subscription?

And to think...he had the time to post that instead of looking through a
few and maby HELPING, or working on repairing problems with NET
....hmmmmmm...does this prove as an example for Microsofts performance, or
time-wasting ability for the rest of us?
(NOT meant as a slam toward the ones who actually DO their jobs)

er maybe that's his job?

anyway...
i'm as much of a M$ 'hater as anyone but ... i would still like to stop by
this chat and see what kind of information gets tossed around in there.

BUT... when i click into the chat room links i get taken to the page that
says "u need at least IE4 and Win95". Well, i have win2k and IE6 so !

i am going to see if there's any service packs i'm missing & maybe that will
fix the problem, but in the meantime - does anybody know what causes this
and how to solve it?

(i sent a note to M$ tech support but they probably won't help me unless i
give them two months and a few hundred bucks...)
