I knew I could account on you!

... and I just realized by checking my email this morning that I apparently ordered five copies of Windows 10 and three XBoxes during the night.
|
|
|
|
|
That's a perfectly normal side effect.
Don't worry about it, unless an order for PS4's creeps in.

I think an accepted order for a PS5 would be even more creepier.

No, they know people want one of those, and they have loads of old stock to dispose of ...

Yep, this probably explains why they put a free Clippy poster in the order.

I had my shot too. I woke up with a cardboard box full of Windows Vista CDs on my doorstep. Must've been a prototype vaccine.

Vista, CDs, that is wrong on so many levels

Only start to worry if you sign a partition to bring back Clippy.

I have an image of Clippy popping up on your screen with
"It appears that you meant to say 'petition'. Can I help you with that?"
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

You realize this means you'll also be able to go back to your 6 meter social distancing.
|
|
|
|

Yes, the 2 meter was a bit too close to my taste.
Actually, I did not get the vaccine (it was only for the Microsoft plot joke) and will probably not get it before July - France is *a bit* late on track.

GWBasic predated windows. VB4 was mostly just GWBasic with a code generator. The code generator for Windows had gotten fairly good by that time. When they got to VB6 they had added a lot of object oriented features. Where did VB5 stand in this evolution. Was it closer to 4 or 6?
So many years of programming I have forgotten more languages than I know.

I’d say it was closer to 6. 3 and 5 stand out for me as the best versions of VB (others can add the joke they desire here). 4 was an OLE-ification, and 6 was the attempt at web. (And 5 was the addition of classes)

I did a lot of GWBasic then jumped into C++ 4 and a lot of embedded work. Never did much VB until 6 and then it was mostly VBA for Excel and other programs. VBA is mostly VB6. After that it has been .NET and C#. I have skipped over a lot of small steps in my career.
I am asking this question because I am just finishing up converting a VB4 program to a WPF and C#. Now they are giving me a VB5 conversion. I am kind of wishing I had screwed up the VB4 conversion.
So many years of programming I have forgotten more languages than I know.

Whole parts of my brain just opened up, creaking and dusty, at the mention of GWBasic.
Good memories...

Do not forget the cobwebs. I glad yours were good. When I started in on the VB4 upgrade I found the memories painful.

Exactly. Let sleeping dogs lie. Don't revive those poor abused brain cells.
