I guess you're right, it sounded like Basic was an equal to C or ASM.

each has their strong points.  The one for Basic is fast time to 
learn for simple projects.

ASM is often credited for it's tight and fast code.

And, if I'm not mistaken, C dominates the market as it is so darn 
capable.

If you are going for a job as a programmer, you will have few offers 
is you list only Basic, and many, many more if you list C.

It sounded as if I were saying C programmers burn hours to earn more 
$$$ when that was not the intent.

I have a pretty big program in Basic, and some in Asm as Basic could 
not handle what was needed.
