I worked for a company that did. They were starting to connect to the db using .net with an ec2 connection to replace the old green screen with a new website. It's been YEARS but I'm not sure they've completely gotten rid of it. They had about a half dozen rpg programmers at the time so it's not completely a dead language.

They probably put the newbie young reports in charge of obits. And they probably only know her from Harry Potter. I still think of her as Wendy from the movie Hook. It was the first movie I ever saw her in.

When I'm working I like songs with no lyrics. Often soundtracks to movies or games. Right this second I'm listening to the Quest For Glory 5 soundtrack... "Dance of mystery and intrigue". I grew up on the Quest for Glory computer games. Remember when those crazy pixelated images looked so "life like" and cool.

Take a break from it for a while, if you can. Don't know how many times I've been stuck and taken a break and when I came back to it...bam.

Speculation is there's a shake up going on at code project. See further down in the lounge...Chris is leaving. [The Lounge](https://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=6018438#xx6018438xx)

I was thinking drum set, but that works too. :)

With a brand new extremely noisy toy.

I like light mode because I'm not very strong.

I predict that in about two weeks you're going to post about how you wish you had saved it this code because suddenly you had a need to look at it again. :-D

I wonder if the project had anything to do with _Mc_Cloud.

I don't agree with the per employee of your company bit...but per user of the software seems like a good way to account for the constant upkeep of the software. What else would be a fair way to do it? If I want to use some software for my small business of 4 people, I should have to pay the same as a huge corporation of thousands? Per user is at least proportional.
