    I just took a survey about Software Development and one of the questions asked was if in the last year I have written code to target Netscape. :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

    I've just applied for a job that stated that experience of VB6 would be an advantage!

      I still know some people who are really good at playing Missile Command[^]. Mickeysoft Redshirts will not be very effective against me. Nor would their Stormtroopers. My old dad would probably still be able to deal with them.

      I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

        Maybe it's just a legal way of saying, "We prefer someone older and with more experience." :-D

          Either that, or you'll end up supporting an ancient legacy system that the business depends on.

                M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
