    FWIR it wasn't an executable I needed to load from floppy, it was some other data. That said, I do have some operating system disks for a Strand GSX lighting console which should still run, as the hardware is frozen in time.

    When replacing an optimized front end treasury system, I used but two hacks: 1. understand what information they need most and why and put it where they find it and 2. learn all of their keyboard shortcuts and replicate them in the new system. I can't overstate the importance of the ability of the operator to quickly enter all the data with just tab, alphanumerical characters and cursor keys.

    To quote Investopedia... Investopedia: White label products are sold by retailers with their own branding and logo but the products themselves are manufactured by a third party. White labeling occurs when the manufacturer of an item uses the branding requested by the purchaser or marketer instead of its own. The end product appears as though it's been produced by the purchaser. JeremyΒ Falcon

    Maybe I misunderstand you, but this makes no sense. For me, all I need is a laptop to do my work, let's say a good one costs me €2000. I buy a mouse, keyboard and good monitor. I don't want to reconnect cables every day so I buy a docking station. All in all another €1000. That's a lot of money, so maybe I can set up a same setup at home as well for that money. So for €3000 I've got everything and that will last me at least five years. After five years I'd probably need to replace only the laptop, so let's say all in all it'll cost you about €500 a year. Now here's the neat part, you're employed so your company should provide you with all those tools. I have a very small business and €3000 is a very small five-yearly investment with the current rates for programmers. After taxes that's still only like a €2000 investment, if even that. As for licences, many companies have free licenses for small teams, students, etc. Like the Visual Studio and SQL Server Community Editions. So you can use those at home, or if you need tools for work, guess what: your employer should provide them. So I guess the answer to your question is 0%.

    There's a movie about (some of) his life, Immortal Beloved. Though I cannot recall most of it, it's been about twenty years ago since I saw it, I do remember I quite liked it. It gets decent scores on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes too. There's a movie about Mozart too, Amadeus, which I also liked and which scores very highly. Both recommended.
