My client uses IBM servers with it’s hobbled version of Unix (AIX). Perl and access to copilot have really helped me out. I don’t love Perl but I’m damn glad I have acres to it.

Yup, it is your works crazy policy of making sure everyone gets a one size fit all VS code Configuration. I’ve loaded VS code on a 10 year-old Lenovo and it runs just fine with only basic Python plug-ins. Five minute startup time is crazy.

My mom’s hard and fast rule when buying a new computer: It had better run Print Shop. She was barely computer literate but that program was soooo useful to her. You guys did a great thing.

The same day he dies, Microsoft announces version control in Windows Explorer, which he originally bought to the file system in VMS. I know he worked on NT, I wonder why they didn’t introduce version control before now.
