    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

    Comment


      Just need to dig out a snippet of VB6 for someone then I can get back to the safety of C#.

        It's been doing it since about February, and doesn't seem to have been getting any worse, so hopefully it's not quite that drastic

            I've got VB6 installed on a virtual machine so it doesn't taint the primary OS on my laptop.

              And it means I can get rid of it quickly.

                Yup, the cheapness of the parts is a definite advantage - that and the fact that any competent mechanic can work on it, as it predates all those fancy electronic systems that you need a special computer from the manufacturer to work with

                When I was up in Yorkshire one of the permies was exchanging her MX5 for a newer one. They delivered the new one to the office, then tried to get some info off the older one's system (something to do with mileage) which had to be uploaded to some central system or other as part of the trade-in process.

                The bloke plugged his laptop into the car and ran the special software... and then found that he couldn't get a mobile signal to upload the data

                He was stuck there for about an hour, as he wasn't allowed to move the car until the data had been uploaded, and his signal never lasted more than a few seconds before dropping out again

                    The "MS" being multiple sclerosis rather than Microsoft
