haven't had chance to get to grips with powershell yet but I think it may be able to do what you want

Re: Balloon tips

Buy a book called C++ For Dummies, learn programming, write a program that makes your balloons and that's that!

Lol, no other suggestions, mate..

Re: Balloon tips

You can make them balloons in Visual Basic, and it's a hindsight easier than C++!

Though yea, I'd think Barman has the best suggestion.

Re: Balloon tips

I borrowed the book from a friend, and must say I really like it. It's got an intro to everything: REALbasic, C++, html, ... You should get it at the library or something Not easy though...:s

Re: Balloon tips

I learnt C programming last year at College, and as interesting as it was, it was a pain to learn. Doing Visual Basic this year and it makes much more sense.
