Thanks for the heads-up!

:mad: So, I come into work today, unlock, and jump right into the code I was working on last night. Promptly forget the _t equivalent to _atof, so i type in "_atof", move the cursor over it, and hit F1, expecting my October2001 MSDN to pop-up and help me out. No. It pops up and asks me to provide the network location of the CDs. Crap. So I type it in. The CDs aren't there. So I call helpdesk (oooh.. this'll be fun). Apparently some other people in some other department needed Oct2002, so they took out Oct2001 from the share, and have no plans to change back. :mad: And I'm the only one on my team using Oct2001 (everyone else is using VC6's version). So I'm left as the odd-man out. So now I'm using MSDN online (gah!), because there is no way I'm moving beyond Oct2001. We don't do anything do to with .NET here, so I'm curious why people need Oct2002 (from what I've heard, MSDN completely changed from after Oct2001). I'm just really annoyed. Because I use MSDN to tell me the little syntax issues that I often forget. But I'm more annoyed at the people who changed the CDs around. They didn't even notify anyone about this. It just happened. :grrr: So that's my complaint this morning. ;P That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig.

How dare they! The majority of people in the office using Oct2002 MSDN and they have the nerve to take the CD's belonging to the strange little nerd who hides in the corner and everyone sniggers at behind his back out of the share and put their own in! You should go into work tommorrow with an Uzi and teach them a lesson.

So why not just install it locally?

Good idea, but I don't think they'll let me. Shog9 wrote: This is my December These are my snow covered dreams This is me pretending This is all I need...
