    Sad, isn't it? There was a time when I constantly pointed out typos in CP posts. I gave up when I realized I was being a royal pain in the posterior. Besides, no one seemed to care much. Nowadays I get my kicks sending email to CNN whenever I spot a typo in the Headline News ticker, which is about thrice a week. (I only watch the show a few hours each week). I've received several emails from the anchors, who were nice enough to thank me for pointing out the errors. And now I think I'll make myself a ham sandwich... :cool: /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

          I know. It shows. :rose: There's a certain kind of developer who'll pepper their code with ASSERTs and VERIFYs, correctly Doxygen/JavaDoc everything, and compile every library in Debug/Release and Unicode/MBCS modes. Not because they have to, but because doing anything less would be shoddy and unprofessional. Craftsmanship. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

                            Nothing special - just regular baked ham (thinly sliced) from the local deli. Between a couple of slices of Wonder Bread, of course. :cool: /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

                            couple of slices of Wonder Bread No, no, no, NO! Ravi I am apalled at you! The proper way to have it is with 2-3 slices of prosciutto[^], a slice of tomato, and touch of mayonnaise on a nice semolina roll. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!
