LOL - true - but ... and it is a big but ... I didn't mean no one should program in C/C++ just MS !!

Actually a lot of the 'old time' stuff did have a lot going for it! Just imagine running decent graphics software (the orogonal Xara) and good DTP software on a system with 8Mb of memory and a 120Mb hard disc. (plus it has internet access etc). I still have the machine upstairs and it still works. I also used it as a MIDI control system. The OS was written in machine code and never crashed ... ever!

There was a time when true developpers were really developping more interesting things rather blogging and developping marketting stuff for nutthin'
Thanks God, those developpers are still there, but they dont possess latest Intel or Amd or ... or latest CPU of the 'market', that's why we can still find many applications that are not memory greedy, but rather functional even on little computers... and even little interesting languages/tools can be found if people would take care 5 minutes... ^^
