Fortran II on an IBM 1130 in 1965. Ran finite element programs on a 64Kb core and 1Mb hard drive. Programs on punched cards.

C should not be inflicted upon anyone. It is clumsy, slow to code and inelegant, and is a source of the World's most inefficient and buggy programs. It is only due to inertia and legacy that it still survives, mostly within failing companies.

A typical site which has IE9 log-in problems is: http://community.betfair.com/[^] The entered username or password disappears as soon as you enter the other. I use Roboform to log in. It works best with the Gecko engine in Lunascape browser.

IE9 seemed fast on first using it. Now seems to have slowed to a crawl. Several sites requiring a log-in no longer work, so have to use other browser. A link from an email in windows Mail, say, only opens IE9 browser - the actual page does not load. You have to go back and click the link again. Don't like the favourites opening on the right hand side - they get hidden, as all components by others open there to avoid the old IE versions opening on the left. No sign that MS developers ever actually use their browsers or they would make them more user friendly and reduce constant clicking off of pointless warnings I do not need. Very tiresome. Overall a 5/10.
