Your ignorance, in return, seems astounding.
Far from an old-timer myself, but I did work originally at entry level on some of the "older" mainframe systems in the 90s and the basic concepts were the same. It was a great way to learn the concepts and I appreciate everything the grey-haired, ancient, always-smelled-like-cheap-Subway-sandwiches local UNIX guy taught me.
New syntax and slightly new methods do not confuse the "old-timers". They've just been there before... in some cases again and again...
Even Microsoft Popfly itself is so unpopular you can go for months at a time without hearing about it, and I bet you hadn't heard about it for months until just now.
You're right on that one -- hadn't even thought about Popfly for ages until you just mentioned it.

Thanks -- quite informative. Worth spending the hour...

I'm pretty sure it's Miller time.
Seconded
So you worked there too?
What is Popfly? O_o .......... No, I'm serious.

Microsoft Popfly is the fun, easy way to build and share mashups, gadgets, games, Web pages, and applications.
It looked briefly interesting to me about a year ago. I have no idea what the current state of it is.

Some mods also use insightful, or any other moderation, as a way to say "I'm clearly drunk."
It's my standard policy to have at least 3 drinks when I have mod points.
I SO wish I had a mod point right now...
Hilarious. Wish I had mod points for this one.
