What's the problem with goto statements. That's classic infallible Basic at it's best.

It gets worse. I wrote a program that determines the best reflux ratio/[trays or feet of packing] for distillation columns (used for EVERYTHING chemical) back in the '90s using my newfound friend c++.

Due to poor programming, my ultra-cool script had the unfortunate problem of creating a new instance every 55 seconds, overwhelming computers of that day in a few hours.

C++ and I have since parted ways. I could blame myself for poor programming, but I'm going in the other direction. It's c++'s fault.
