But, but, but, VS doesn't have TurboVision!

Sadly in my country (in two of our "top" technical universities), Turbo C++ is still used. You just need to spend some time install BorlandC compiler and you are the man/woman. Web design is recommended to be used with tables and we can really impress the folks at AutoDesk, showing them how to run AutoCAD 2006 and SolidWorks 2008 simultaneously on a P3 machine with XP and 512 RAM in the best case scenario

Which country is this? Surely you can't be from the US like it says in your profile?

Greetings from Bulgaria. Although our IT and Engineer students indeed are knowledgeable and remarkable, our education system is a nightmare.

I totally know what you mean by the last sentence - it's the same here. If there are good students, it's despite the education system, not because of it.
Cheers,

It's simply a standstill. No professor, lecturer or anybody actually cares. Just take his salary, speak for an hour and good to go (oh let's not forget the extra payment from students to let them pass)... It's good thing we have private academies that actually teaches you (and some does it for free compared to the universities).

Install? Turbo BASIC is just install-by-copy -- and works under Win 7 32-bit. It doesn't work under 64-bit Win 7 or 8.

Yup. Happy birthday to Dave.
Yes, I know he's already posted but it isn't official until someone else starts the thread.

Cheers Pete...
It just occurred to me that I was also offshore for my birthday last year!
At least today being the weekend meant that I was saved from having to endure a sing song down the phone from the rest of the management team onshore and offshore as we don't do a conference call at the weekend.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Ouch. I meant to post that earlier, after a LinkedIn notice, but got distracted by the horrors of the local mall. I seldom click through to express wishes on LinkedIn because that whole pile is so impersonal. Much more impersonal than simply forgetting.
Happy birthday, Dave!

Oh, uhhh, well, happy birthday again, Dave, on the official thread!
Or maybe we need more officiality by starting a thread on the other thread that is not your own birthday thread? And then we'll start a thread about that thread too! Now that's what I call multi-threading!

Just sitting in the waiting room waiting to start laser eye surgery. With the combined power of my C# knowledge and my new laser eyes I can take over the world

Only if you are a shark, and they are attached to your frickin' head.
Good luck!

I'll probably go under the beam/knife next year for the right eye's cataract.

I apparently have opacities in both eyes, possibly linked to cataracts, but have had them for some twenty years with no effect at all on my vision. My optometrists are always much more concerned than me, until I get paranoid. Then I start asking if they can possibly be linked to a terror trip I had one day after inhaling solvents as a youth. In said trip, I experienced being restrained on a 'surgical' table, while spiral needles approached and penetrated my eyes.
