    A classic machine! And sturdy as hell, you could knock walls out with it and it would still work.

      Gotta love non-technical journalists...

      From the article:

      Visual Basic suggests words while a coder types, highlights syntax errors and makes bug hunts easier by jumping straight to the problematic code - even when the error is one of logic rather than letters.

      Right... the editor highlights logic errors :doh:

          They mean the app crashed.

            Wow. So it suggests code, tells you where logic errors are....... We'll never need another coding language ever again........ Oh hang on, I'm sure I heard that before..... Early 80's The Last One - apparently it took your spec and designed a program from it. I think we can all appreciate the humour that would ensue :)

              I remember taking a look at that at a computer show in SF. IIRC, they had it running on a Commodore Business Machine. Marc

                What, your current IDE doesn't have "Refactor > Make it work"?

                          Yeah! Go get 'em! Learning from history is a very important step that so few people take anymore.
