    And just what is wrong with paper tape? At least you can drop it on the floor without spending the next six hours trying to get in back in the right order...

    Did you know: That by counting the rings on a tree trunk, you can tell how many other trees it has slept with.

      Modern computer languages are a bit like people in some ways. *VB6 and older is like that overprotective parent that wraps you up in bubble wrap and fuzzy mittens to protect you from yourself. *VB.net is the forgotten twin of C#. though they get the same grades as each other, VB gets forgotten about when it’s parents are giving out new treats. And tends to get unfairly compared to it’s older brother VB6. *C# sometime known as the prima donna, tends to borrow a lot of ideas from others, including it’s brother and displays it as it’s own and then herald as a innovator. Also been known to do dealings with shady unmanaged data. Does tend to get a lot of jobs, but that’s mostly do to being named closely to it’s cousins C and C++. *F# is like the drunk bum on the corner always talking about “flying saucers” and “pure functions”, and after awhile actually starts making sense. *J++ Who? *C is a lot like a drunk stepfather with a baseball bat, just get one array index out of line; and boom! that's it. *C++ is like a bi-polar drunk stepfather with a baseball bat, you just never know who your going to get when that array index goes bad. *Java is now technically an orphan searching for his father, but extremely weary of it’s foster home. *HTML is actually not a person but a monkey at a typewriter. *Cobol once was cool but the bell bottoms pants and suede shoes are showing it’s age. *Lisp got an unfortunate name, much like Ben Dover. *QuickBasic, does it have a compiler or not? And if so do I have to get in to the creepy van? *Flash is that guy that talks really fast and at the same time slurring most of the words in the sentence, you suspect Redbull and Rum. *Assembler is that weird nephew that lives in the basement, only pokes his head out once in awhile to mumble something and goes back into hiding. Just doesn’t play well with others. *Java script and VB script just hang around to make HTML fell better. *Fortran is that old guy still on the payroll because he made the payroll system, and is the only guy who can maintain it. *Ladder logic is that person that doesn’t understand much, but just chugs away at it’s work, like a hamster wheel. *Flow logic, cousin to Ladder. Only has a vague understanding of what to do, but only after consuming 99% of the system resources. *FoxPro was that guy you “accidently” gave the wrong directions to the BBQ. :laugh: anybody got any others?

      ...well the software works fine on my machine.

        PHP is the brilliant pot head who is supper easy going, he comes off as somewhat brain-dead with lax half ass lingo and vague statements but it turns out his simple dialect holds plenty of inferred meaning. He also manages to solve problems with unexpected ease and gets along with almost everyone.

                  Synergy/DE is the hard-working woman who has always loved you, even when you were running around with others. Now that those floosies VB and C# are showing their age, it's time to come home to momma. She just got a face-lift and a tummy-tuck, and she'll do anything you ask. But she still isn't cheap.

                  Contains coding, but not narcotic.
