Weirdly I just poured myself a gin and soda and then logged into the lounge and was faced with your post. Cheers Charlie... I know exactly how you feel. The only good thing is that life goes on, regardless. Retirement is a lie. I did like the "Man on the Moon" link that Choroid sent you. It cheered me up. You Keep Well....

Visual Basic is not dead. It just smells funny. Like Jazz. However I do think that it is doomed in the end.

This is a wonderful question. Really Wonderful. I love all the responses to it as well. In some ways it it is like a confessional. I feel a bit vindicated now. I am not embarrassed by any language that I've used. I started very early and have used most of them. Like you one of the best times was to see if VB6 couldn't do something. Like you, that is where I learnt to be dirty. All the WIN32 stuff. Could do anything that I wanted. It was so much fun. Maybe wasn't as fast as the same in C or C++ of whatever brand alternative. But It was a challenge. I did that also. I, We always got there in the end. It was such fun. Especially where we were told that NO you can't do that with VB6. And then we did. We could do anything. I forget most of it now. Forget Fortran but came back to it later and continued, I loved it, but years ago now. Forget Pascal, Delphi, C, C++ Borland, and all of the basic systems since day dot. Just do C# or VB.net now. Devs have always been critical of certain languages. I can understand. VB in all forms is a classic hate language. It has ON ERROR RESUME NEXT. Allows Goto and Gosub. However it allows free memory so you could make your own IO boards to stick in your computer. Then the OS changed to memory protected. That very thing changed the world. Not in a good way at first but later it did. I hear devs putting shit on all different languages. My favourite was an add from Pornhub advertising positions for PHP programmers. The PHP dev answered: I am Interested but I don't think I'd be comfortable telling my friends and family that's what I do all day. Answer: That is understandable. I don't think I would be comfortable telling may family that I develop PHP either. Look There is no embarrassing language. Some are good and some are not so much. They are all there for a purpose though. The purpose is to get things done. Properly. We all do that. Hopefully. I can understand why devs criticise VB6, but like Nagy Vilmos says, done well it was (Translated from Hungarian) the Bees Nees, Done bad it was DDay. I love it all. Love you.

The key is in the Son’s question "Hike Who?". Phonetically “Hike Who” = “Haiku”. Thus the 5/7/5 relevant answer by the dad. The son is unsuspecting just like I was when I first read it. Took me a bit to get it. Cheers.....

Slightly off topic, but I saw what was supposed to be the ultimate Dad joke recently, and I immediately thought of you. Dad: Knock Knock Son: Who's there Dad: Hike Son: Hike Who Dad: Unsuspecting Son. Dad waiting with bated breath. Sets the perfect trap.

It should be Ignoble. Still easy to hear what you mean. We should fear all but we should learn how to research first.

Same with me. Thanks David it is good.

Wonderful. I was going to say that I was Jealous, but I am not really. Gee why would I be. Most people who say this use it as a way of saying "Wow I would love that." Just enjoy it and have fun. Now comes the hard part though. Deciding what you are going to install on it. What it shares with the other PCs. I always have issue with this. Enjoy it...........

SCAGA Yes, long time since I heard this. Thanks. You have re-educated me.

Wonderful. Both of them. Thanks.

Thanks, I needed it. ...but I wasn't offended.

It is Delicious I agree. Done a lot of it over the years. It is success that makes it delicious. When you don't succeed it makes it more mundane. However the conversation that you had with @CalinCali was so funny. I now have visions of you waving someone else's dead chicken over your code, casting a spell, that puts a hex on it. Spells and coding has got to be good. For everyone.

You won't regret buying a QNAP. They are wonderful. So Good. Not an answer to your question though. I have had heaps of WD drives and seagates as well. Over the years it was the seagates that won the battle. Therefore I only buy them now. ...and they are in my QNAPs

Really hope all works out well for her. Thinking of you.

Thank you. Love this post. So well put. It is a divisive date here. I sincerely hope that the next government fixes this. Who ever they are. We need a day that is inclusive. Eat lamb, enjoy nature with our family and our friends. Ole OK (and what ever the welsh is for "Horay Elephant".) Thanks
