Well, one thing you can do is hit the reply button, copy the text out of the form, paste it in notepad, and reply at your leisure, on-line or not. Then, when next online, hi the reply button, and paste it in (but not before reading the intervening posts to ensure your questions haven't already been addressed).
If what you meant to say was that your time on the computer (rather than on-line time on the computer) is limited, you might find it hard to get the practice you need. in this case, you should either a) obtain more computer time, or b) pursue some interest where you've access to the resources you need.

Just populate the listbox in reverse order. For example, if doing it in a loop, with the items in an array, loop backwards from the end, rather than starting at the beginning, and moving forwards.
I don't have any experience with VB before VB.NET, and even then, I prefer other languages, like C++ or C#. Being that you can acquire (legally) free compilers for both, you might consider that. While VB may be easier to grasp at an introductory level, many concepts are actually easier to express in other languages, or at least, they are to me. C# would seem to be a good compromise between the ease of VB and the power of C++. I'm of the impression that there are also more active C++ and C# users on the forums here than there are VB ones, so you might have better luck getting replies.
If you choose to try learning C# or C++, though, be sure to give it a try on your own before seeking help here. This means using Google (or your search engine of choice) to locate tutorials and other resources on the net, printing some material if necessary. It also means checking your library (municipal, school, whatever) for books on the subject, and perhaps even book stores. If you look, you can quite probably find 'value priced' books that are very cheap because they are a year or two old, and have been superseded by more recent editions. I've picked up computer books for under $10 CDN in the past, simply by being willing to settle for ones that aren't the absolute newest. This is plenty to get a novice started.
After you have done this, and tried writing some programs, come back with specific questions, samples of the code that's giving you problems (preferably short ones, and don't forget code tags), what the problem is (ie, what it's not doing that it should be doing, or vice versa), and proper English, and you'll get a much more welcoming reception. Oh yeah, an intro post wouldn't hurt either; many of us get offended when someone's first contact is asking for someone else to solve their problem(s).
