        You asked

        Quote:

        What would be the first thing you do

        So I answered what I would do, not what you might do. If you have asked "what I would do" (meaning you here), I (me now), may have answered that there might be also tea in the cup :-D

            Put my feet up for a couple of days, and pretend that I'm catching up on my e-mail. (I'm really glad I use a "screen name" to post here)

            I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                                      So, just a regular day; nothing special.

                                      - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                                          Take a rest after a busy vacation! :D

                                          Read my (free) ebook Object-Oriented Programming in C# Succinctly. Visit my blog at Sander's bits - Writing the code you need. Or read my articles here on CodeProject.
