Back in the late 80's early 90's, I was a co-op for IBM. I wrote an RPG program to rearrange some data file. Because of scope, the program had to be reviewed by a senior programmer.
"This is just a start. Where is the rest of it. Do you need help?"
"No. It is complete. Sample input and output files right next to it. I used the cycle"
"The cycle still works?!"

I had learned RPG II in HS. The cycle is all that was needed. He showed that program to every programmer that walked into his office.

The deal it that it all keeps working.

Where is the oatmeal can option?

Would you prefer Disney + Ron Jeremy?

Would be good to have a an equivalent of http://www.geomac.gov/index.shtml

Haven't done that yet but have copied a C64 program by putting a desk top audio cassette recorder in front of a stero speaker, hitting 3 buttons at once and running. :^)

: TV shows just how desperate marketeers are to prove they matter, the program you are watching interrupted by ads, for the program you were trying to watch followed by overlays of the next program, so please stay tuned... I would if you didn't ruin the program with all this begging.

A few weeks ago the network had an ad half way through House that you could watch the pilot of some other show "Right Now" on their web page. It repeated "right now". I had to pause the TiVo to laugh about it with my wife. Of course with TiVo I could do it with out missing anything but encouraging someone to leave the show they are on if funny.

Mod points, I wish I had them.

I like breaks where natural breaks happen. Sure, if the phone rings or someone is at the door I stop where I am. But otherwise I will take breaks at a commercial.

I have been known to hit the slow button at the beginning of a break to leave the room. That way I have much longer than the break and I am not burning anything into my screen. A few times I have gotten into a conversation and it has even gone into the show. But not so far that a few presses of the 8 seconds back button on my Tivo won't set me up.

I can see the lawsuits with "I should have gotten the 40 byte no address, instead of the your 1 meg ad fest. Why are you taking my internet away due to your invisible cap."

Or you need a better calculator or learn to better use the one you have. Even the MS Calculator has an Int function and a memory.

big/little = big / little MS = - Int = * MR =

The superior RPN is left to others.

More like B-list. A-list is for those saps who actually buy the stuff. I've helped someone whose mother fell for a "charity" that ended up with more spam that I thought an individual could get. It even got to be a hassle dealing with tons of snail mail.

I am in Mobile as well. Our driveway is nearly solid orange due to crushed acorns. My parents in Montgomery have the same problem. So it is definitely a regional phenomenon.
