I'll be 61 in a couple of months and STILL say that!

One day soon, I suppose I should come up with one! Something like: There are times I really miss the old DOS programming days.

With both VS 2005/8 the help system sucks. Some time before 2008 was released, I answered a survey on the help system. They must have thrashed my responses, its even worse now than before. You search for a simple command, and hundreds of pages are returned on every subject under the sun. VS 2008 will just crash on occasion for no reason that I have been able to figure out as of yet. I mostly work in web design, using C# and some AJAX, and as some others have stated, switching from source to design view can take a couple of minutes. It should not take that long to build the controls. My biggest complaint with the debugger, I miss my old DOS days with the Clipper debugger, it could automatically step through the code for you. There was even a speed control. I get TIRED of having to hit the F11 key for every line of code. There are a couple of other items that changed from 05 to 08 that were actually downgrades to my way of thinking, but I've been using 08 since it came out and so use to it now, can not remember them. Just know that some of them created extra steps for me.

Even with the cost of my 10MB cable connection, there is no way I could down grade to a DSL. Don't care what the $$ incentives would be. That would be like going from a DSL to a dial-up modem. Sorry, never again!!

I use some of the neat new stuff, and others I don’t screw with others. I've worked both areas; where I never had contact with the customer and where I worked closely with the customer. When you can work with the customer and they do learn to respect and value your opinion, the end product can become one that they will not like but use successfully. Also have found that maintenance on a collaborated system like this is so much easier.

I have always like that one; and so TRUE!
