    I was thinking what the the tool what I use in my PC. And the conclusion is http://www.getright.com/[^] I have changed Windows versions, tools, needs, internet connection but I have always used GetRight. What is the oldest tool what you still use?

          I sometimes write code for an emulation of a 30 year old IBM Mainframe. The debugger I run for that is about 25 years old.

              I think I've got an even older copy (?) from when it was still called WinCake (I think it was anyway, probably mistaken), but can't see what version it is because I havn't got my floppy reader available for the laptop.

                  One I wrote myself back in 96 using Borland's Turbo C++ v2.0. It is not used a whole lot so I have not bothered to update it. It was written for Windows 3.1 so I had to write my own date edit and spin controls.

                          Rock when I can't find a Hammer. Hamme when I can't find my Sword Sword when I can't find my Bow Bow when I can't find my gun. (And this is true. Deer hit me the other day and I didn't have my gun in my trunk so I lookd for my hunting bow, that wasn't there, and my sword/boui knife wasn't in my car either... so I took my hammer out, but the handle was broken so I used a rock to kill the deer so it wouldn't suffer... pretty funny when you think of it haha). oh.. For computers? notepad.

                            I prefer them to pens. I don't chew pencils but for some reason I chew pens. Leaving the office at 5 with ink all over your face and hands isn't very professional.

                                          I was thinking what the the tool what I use in my PC. And the conclusion is http://www.getright.com/[^] I have changed Windows versions, tools, needs, internet connection but I have always used GetRight. What is the oldest tool what you still use?

                                          NC (Norton Commander) After you get use to it, it is 50 times faster to work with files than the explorer mouse crap.
