Just d/l it - and yeh, it is very nice :)
I'm going to write some imaging software soon - it's been about a year since 
I last did any serious coding - I've been too busy doing other stuff and I 
really do need to get stuck into VB.Net - everytime Ive tried VB.Net, I've 
ended up thinking that this (whatever I'm doing) is a cinch in VB 6.0 and 
ended up coding in VB 6.0 - and I really do need to make the transition. Ok 
I'm too old (turned 50+) to go back into full-time employment as a VB 
programmer again, but it woiuld be nice to get to a point where I can tackle 
any project in VB.Net (which is a *very* different animal to VB 6.0). I've 
programmed (commercially) in VB 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 - all of which were 
'natural' progressions. VB.Net is a kinda 'unnatural' progression -  because 
MS changed VB so much with VB.Net
