I wasn't saying BBC4W wasn't simple. I don't really know it well enough to know. I bought it a few years ago and have used it a bit now and then, but not for anything very difficult or complex.
Based on the little I know, I'd say BBC4W is by far the more powerful of the two. Once learned, it's probably the simpler as well, although I can only guess at that. But for the new programmer I think it probably has a steeper learning curve.
I'm an old guy now and I don't do much programming anymore. I can't really focus well enough to do anything very complicated. But after a long career as a programmer I still enjoy playing with it from time to time. I installed both Creative Basic and BBC4W about a week ago and I've been playing around with them and having a good time.
Honestly, I wasn't putting your system down at all. I think it's pretty impressive. If this thread had been a recent one I'd probably have suggested BBC4W, not only because Creative doesn't have much future, it's not nearly as useful.
I didn't suggest that because I assumed the issue was probably decided by the original poster long ago.
