Slashdot Mirror

This works for all languages and methods.. The only time you don't want to do this is if you have to maintain YOUR own code.

> i know how to handle this. tell your boss or manager AND/OR IBM to shove it.

Actually I had been in that position (well watching it happen on my old team, I moved before the mess started). Certain US team members dealt with it by using this website.

I'm not kidding!

I originally had a Commodore 64, but the first actual PC game I can remember playing and being addicted by was Castle of the Winds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_of_the_Winds

I received both games with my first IBM PS/2. It was the first game, after Solitare that I ever played on windows. I probably spent upwards of 100 hours playing through both games, and even have it loaded on my laptop right now.

Both games are now freeware and can be downloaded leagaly. (Drop the author, Rick Saada http://www.exmsft.com/~ricks/ , an e-mail if you like it.)

Be careful of these websites. They appear to be a bit underpowered to handle the slashdot effect.

Good to see that my reading is giving some good results! ;P

This is really a puff piece, nothing to get excited over. The stuff that was exciting for me was tracking down the people who worked at Mark Williams on Coherent... anyone remember Coherent? It was a Unix for 286 clone, done in assembler. Woof, it was fast!

Another thing: What is this online service I keep reading about, American Online? Geez Louise man, that's twice in a week that error has made it to my notice.

And one more thing: How about a registry of stuff like this? You know, like Ex-MSFT for other projects.
