Thanks for the feedback, Folks. Sean asked me to reply on this thread so here's the link and a little more info about the clip: Back in 1983, when the IBM PC was relatively new and the Mac had not yet been introduced, I was involved with a users group in New York called NYPC. In conjunction with the local Apple group, we produced an all-day event with microcomputer-related seminars, exhibits, and vendors. We also had guest speakers including Steve Wozniak of Apple and Bob Frankston of VisiCalc fame. I produced a video "covering" the event which was shown on public access cable TV. It was seen by probably no more than 4 people. The show included interviews with Wozniak and Frankston. Here's a 5-minute clip of the Wozniak interview. It's preceded by a brief chat between Woz and Frankston on the merits of the BASIC programming language. I hope you enjoy this little trip down memory lane: https://vimeo.com/788473906/f9281f58a4?share=copy

Tried to post link to historical Woz video -
Tried to post link to historical Woz videoGreetings from a long-time lurker. A few months ago I tried posting a link to a video I thought this community would enjoy. It's a short interview with Steve Wozniak recorded 40 years ago when the Apple II was near its peak of popularity. I wrote a brief description and history, and included a link to the clip in my personal Vimeo account. My message was immediately "flagged as potential spam." Although it was "awaiting moderation" it never surfaced. I tried twice. IAC, I'd like to try again to send the link. I was told that Woz himself saw the clip a couple of days ago and that it cheered him up following his stroke in Mexico last week. Can anyone tell me if I somehow violated some CP code of conduct? Should I give it another shot? Thanks- -David

Looking for a Crystal Reports alternative...Sorry for the late reply but I really like ActiveReports from GrapeCity. I don't think I saw that mentioned by others. ActiveReports[^]

Wozniak videoHello, I tried posting this last week. It was flagged for moderation and disappeared so I'm trying again. I certainly do not mean to offend, or violate any forum guidelines. --------------------- Hi, I've been lurking here for years. Thanks for the insights and entertainment. Perhaps I can finally make a small contribution. 40 years ago I helped run a user group in New York City for enthusiasts of the new IBM PC. Together with the local Apple group, we organized a one-day event featuring exhibits, demos, and vendor booths. We also had guest speakers including Bob Frankston, co-creator of VisiCalc, and Steve Wozniak of Apple. A friend and I produced a TV show based on the event that included an interview with Woz. I recently digitized the show and have posted a clip with that interview, preceded by a brief chat about BASIC between Wozniak and Frankston. I hope you enjoy it: https://vimeo.com/788473906/f9281f58a4

What's your flavour of screen sharing?GoToMeeting. Been using it for years. Big savings if you pay per year vs. per month. Very reliable. Never have had any trouble connecting through any network or corporate firewall.

Web Development StackSorry to be late but want to confirm all Chris said. I recently researched the same topic and spent a lot of time looking at Python/Django before realizing I was better off sticking with the Microsoft technologies I use every day. Razor (part of the ASP.NET world) is a lot like PHP but uses C# syntax and is much nicer. I'm also adding Umbraco on top of the stack Chris describes. It's a lovely content management package with a vibrant, helpful user community.

Fighting obsolescence..... - do you REALLY use a smart phone, and if so, how?I recently went on holiday and while my family waited patiently to start our trip I was stuck in my office trying to upload a large file to a client. I finally gave up so we could get going, having no real idea of how I would solve the problem. I had my computer with me, but our rental house had no Internet connection of any kind. I was able to get the file from my laptop to my new Droid Incredible via USB cable. The Droid has built-in VPN so I connected to my client with just a couple of tries. Poking around in the Android Market I found a free FTP app that allowed me to send the file, and a free RDP app that let me remote control my client's server, map a network drive, move the file to the proper folder, and unzip it. All ready to go. This was an important client, so I could almost justify a year's worth of Verizon charges with just this single mission. -David

Notepad++ and programmer's editorsAnother vote for UltraEdit. Wonderful multi-programming-language tool. Great for simple text file viewing/editing on up to projects, development, custom highlighting, etc. They constantly add features yet responsiveness rarely diminishes. I paid for the "lifetime upgrade" years ago and have never regretted it nor looked back. -David
