    Honestly, I lost in interest in our national team a long time ago ( 2002 ). I wish Netherlands had won the last world cup, not they were a great team, they have just been deserving to win since the 70s. On the other hand it is good to see Spain. I am cheering up for Uruguay tonight :)

      We still have COBOL and FORTRAN and VB6 programs to maintain. It's sometimes more painfull then going to the dentist (like you and me).

      There are still (free) COBOL and FORTRAN compilers available. VB6 is no longer sold, and there are no "free" implementations. While COBOL may still be alive, VB6 is dead. Pushing up the daisies. Joined the choir invisible. An ex-language.

        Uruguay Spain would be a great final. Italy for me... (I'm living 10 kilometers from Italy, that's why nearly everybody here likes when Italy looses). Final is scheduled at midnight local time here un Sunday, doubt I see it. Tomorrow definitly Spain.

            It would be great if the bank corps here could upgrade their old systems, but they seem quite happy with this ancient environment. As a C/C++ programmer, it does not make me any good that they keep wrapping old systems using .NET and Java components. COBOL is being taught here at Universities again. My brother in law works for a small company whose main product is a fiscal system/administrative system and the whole thing was written in COBOL with several emends to work with the real world. I would be glad if there was a huge change in business men's retrograde mentality here so that they could see that upgrading is worth its cost.

            not likely to happen, COBOL's bloated corpse will be floating around for decades and no big business will invest a small fortune (or large in the case of some systems) in burying it, when the beinits are so small, Its cheaper to throw the lives and careers of young developers at it.

            You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

              You can try the Visual Basic forum, but TBH most people will advice you to either migrate to VB.Net or just sell your soul to Satan; the rest will see no difference between the two choices.

              Sounds like his soul was already sold to VB6... although it is not clear if any of the new buyers would be an improvement.

                I want to discuss about VB 6 But that forum is not available. In Visual Basic Forum there are many VB .NET Discuss. How can I ask for VB 6?

                Q&A is the best bet. Prepare to be baffled by the tag cloud, however. Once you manage to find the "VB6" and queue it up you might accidently highlight it, and suddenly become amazed to find out it is the sole breadcrumb in a list of one breadcrumb. And also be prepared to show code. Not for the squeamish coder, then.

                  Well spoken Nagy, but one comment: There is no reason to spell "satan" with a capital "S". He (or she - Gotta be careful these days) is not worthy of such respect!

                    If I can, I will migrate. But I can't because of compability. If my target program is for Windows XP sp 2 or less, I can't use VB.NET or anything with .NET. In your country may be plenty person using Windows Vista and above, but my country not! Also, I am very mad if you say I sell my soul to Satan! If you want, just become satan!

                      Once more. Assembly, COBOL, FORTRAN is hard, I don't found good C compiler. And I don't have money(I am just teens). For compability, I can only use VB 6. Also, in my country(Indonesia, not America, Australia, etc), VB 6 is popular! I has just know when the American language is worse in politeness. When American person drink wine is very common, but in my country, doing that can caught in ostratism even when alcohols that they buy is legal. That is the effect of more advanced of technology. My contry is far late(When VB is dead in America, it's still popular in Indonesia), but still more polite than America. And do you think satan is the "God" so you use capital?
