OS/2 emulation in NT was wanted by IBM. I think Microsoft agreed so that the "divorce" didn't turn messy. I think it was a half hearted job and suprised that the code still exists - not that I've got an OS/2 apps to test it against. Michael Life’s not a song. Life isn’t bliss. Life is just this.

Hmm, whilst I can believe that you would do the best for your developers. It is my experience that most managers don't really care but like to pretend that they do to get more work out of their people. Any manager who lets his people do more than an 8 hour day/ 5 day week is onto a loser in my eyes. A schedule that requires people to work too long and too much to achieve it, is a bad schedule. Even if a person is in the office for extra hours, the odds are that he isn't being any more productive but just being there because it is expected of him. I recommend that any manager reads "Debugging the Development Process" and "PeopleWare". Then we'll see if they really give a damn about their people. The world would be a better place if we all remembered that we work to live, not live to work. Michael Life’s not a song. Life isn’t bliss. Life is just this.

To be fair to VB, it was the first commerical RAD tool. Now however, it should be allowed to die gracefully :suss: :rose: left on grave Elaine (mourning fluffy tigress) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

I agree. I wouldn't wish death on anyone as a punishment nor do I think anything has been achieved by her passing away (apart from one mother and possibly more never knowing where their children's remains lay). For what the that woman did though she *is* the face of evil in this country like I would imagine Hitler was portrayed to Americans after the last World War. Except that she was more fitting to the portrayal by a long way. X| David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk Hello I'm Courtney Love and I like to kill Otters with a spade

Sexualt assualt is not rape. Sexual assualt is as it says - assualting someone sexually. Whilst rape is a sexual assualt, the term is not used in that sense, rape is. Basically the guy felt the little girl up. We don't know the details, but ahnd up the skirt sounds likely to be what happened. Now whilst that is utterly abhorable, regardless the boy should not have his entire life (we are talking about 70 years, not a fortnight) destroyed because of this. People who have no future prospects in life are more likely to re-offend than those given a real chance to reform (and by "real chance" I don't mean what goes on 90% of the time, but that is hopefully under review by the government).

Didn't Microsoft buy FoxPro to kill it so Access could take over the world ? I suspect the fact that it was not in .NET means they wanted to kill it and are now pressured to do it. There are still FoxPro jobs out there....
