Consider yourself highly commendedTM, sir.

(Ever notice we didn't need as much QA before the advent of Microsoft and before outsourcing? Many more practitioners considered themselves "master craftsmen" instead of "script kiddies" -- that, and when you only have 8K of RAM, you *have* to be elegant.)

Cheers!

Giggle, I always consider that my software has an 8K limit.

That is why is runs so darn fast.

People are stunned when I email my boss a change of the software, when a customers needed something specialized.

A 128k program can do all that?

Obviously, I refuse to do the "bells and whistles" of today's software. I make it do what the customers wanted.
