Well, what do you expect? I was speaking of something my father had done that I admired; I also implied that he was now dead. That sort of thing is typically pretty sensitive. If you want to joke about it, the joke had be pretty damned funny, and even then you're on thin ice. In this case, it wasn't that funny to begin with. But no worries. I've lived through worse. ;)

Now I understand, I didn't catch that. I thought by "didn't have a chance to finish" you meant "he got busy with work and life" or something like that. Mine died in his 40's, so I know what it's like and would not have been so insensitive had I understood your implication. :rose:

Mine are Qwerty too, I order Dell or shop in the Netherlands; the Azerty keyboards that are standard in Belgium really stink for programming: digits need to be shifted, square brackets are at horrible locations, etc. :)

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

I was once diagnosed with ADD (or ADHD... I don't really know the difference), but then rediagnosed as a genius with eczema and put into advanced classes... apparently my mom has some paperwork regarding that somewhere (still trying to get her to find it for me).

Yeah I prefer Qwerty as well, unfortunately I'm stuck with Azerty at work, I learned qwerty on one of those pocket keyboards for the palm (way back when they first came out) and only took me a couple hours of typing before I could type blindly with it and a lot faster than with azerty. Maybe I should ask my boss for a qwerty keyboard :)

Just go to the control panel and set the keyboard setting to Querty (US), then type normaly - as long as you dont look at the keys it works fine. ... Until someone else trys to use your keyboard :laugh:

Hi, Am in Holland now, visiting my Parents. My father is 86 today (19th March). He started his course of learning about computers when he was 75. ( Never realy understood electronics! He was a Mechanical Engineer, and his gripe before he got around to it was always, that a piece of electronics could be fried, without any outward visible signs. (At least when a Ball bearin Breaks...). There are long stories there, but however, To the Point. However, I'm using Vista here. The Look and Feel is entirely Different. All the Menus are in dutch,(The meaning of each menu item is ambiguous and unclear) and in a 'YesNoCancel'box, I still do not understand which is 'Yes''No'or 'Cancel' It is coming as a sudden shock to me, that I have as it stands, no chance to translate my own software into my own native language.

Not a problem if you can tell him what to say in his native language.
