The following two really really really made me mad: Like you already mentioned; they're opinions, not the truth. They're merely peoples view on things, and having a view on a subject is more common than having thought about a subject. dawmail333 wrote: 2. "The bad news is that Microsoft has lacked the guts to cut the cord entirely ... Microsoft shouldn’t allow Windows 8 to become contaminated by the past; Like I said, it's an opinion, in this case from someone who hasn't got a clue about the industry. You don't need a clue to have a voice, you don't need to be right to be heard. One of the reasons MS outperformed it's competitors is it's backward-compatibility strategy. People put more faith in something that simply seems to work over any software that breaks, it's that plain easy. The Windows-team went trough great lengths to run old games on newer versions of Windows, as one can read on Chen's blog. It's not bad news, it's good news that I can still run my old accounting-software on the new Windows. dawmail333 wrote: Considering all the artists think Mac is the 'way to go' For people that only use their tablet to surf the net, yes, I'd agree. The rest of the world has consistently chosen Windows. Yes, "computer-people" think that they sound cool and wise if they bash Microsoft. dawmail333 wrote: I just can't understand the logic(?) some people seem to be spouting out. Meh, happens every new version of Windows. I can remember people advising against upgrading to NT4, because it was "merely" a UI-update. Then they advised against using Win2k, because it would be a memory hog. Then XP became the bad guy, and shortly after the introduction of Vista, everyone agreed that XP was the best OS ever. I admit that Vista (just like ME) was a version driven by the marketing-department, and we know the results. I remember reading some article claiming that W8 was not a desktop-OS, based on the argument that people don't want to buy an OS. I posted that people have been buying the OS consistently, while there was a free alternative available. ..it's a religious thing, and I'm not going to get mad over the ignorance of some weblogger. It's not an objective analysis, ju

You're welcome :)

That requires me to submit a fake form of government id, which is slightly illegal, I gather.

Kinda learned that one, didn't I? :P Don't forget to rate my post if it helped! ;) "He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends."

I think that as long as you or a group of people have access to purchase a personal computer or any devise that uses any type of network, you should have the right to having access to that network.

Ahh, I KNEW that wouldn't be held against me, after all, Aussies are awesome :laugh: I'll update my original post with a little more detail.

Hi one thing I've found really useful is to not use words such as Date, Time, etc the VB uses, can muck up your code big time, as I've found out. Apart from that use variables that you will understand when looking at code 6mths down the line. I agree with alot that I use things like strBookings if a string for example. Good luck x :) Kris MCP
