Visual Basic help needed

i need to get a copy of visual basic on my computer. short of a windows computer, how can i run VB? i have to take a class on it starting next week. i realize you can't just throw VB on OSX, but is there some way i can go about this without buying a windows computer? we're talking an iBook here so throwing windows on this isn't possible. can i run it in linux?

sorry if this is the wrong forum.

It's not free, but you looked into http://www.realbasic.com/ ?

Oh and Phoenix for Linux - I believe is a Linux VB tool.

realbasic is offered at a discounted student rate of 350 dollars. good thing everything is free SOMEWHERE on the internet.

phoenix looks like a possibility. stay tuned for another thread with questions about installing linux. lol.

thanks for the feedback.

realbasic isn't free? It does have a student discount, but it isn't free.
