    You see I sign in a shop window that says, "Give me your chocolate and no one gets hurt!" and you think to yourself, "I better tell Megan about that."

    Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
    But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

                                    It all begins to make sense now... I think I need one of those for my desk at work :)


                                    I knew it would end badly when I first met Chris in a Canberra alleyway and he said 'try some-it won't hurt you'... -Christian Graus on Code Project outages His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a tumble dryer.

                                        I still never managed to get a copy of MSDN to see that - hopefully the advert will be in January's issue (free)
