        Remember 3 weeks ago when we had all the furore over 50000 members? And 2 days ago when we had the 65535? How did it get to 75181 today? :wtf: Could it be there is a virus out there signing up bogus members in an evil attempt to bring us down? :~ Or is the :love: of :bob: just growing uncontrollably?

Because you need to be a member to download all source code here on CP nowdays I think non-members only register to get rid of one or perhaps two zip files that they relly want and then (perhaps) never come back again...

                        Now that people need an account to download code, all the people who come regularly to download stuff have had to create an acount. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002
