Last night I decided to play on the other side of the fence. I downloaded Puppy (just a small variant of linux) and installed it on a 128MB pen drive. I boot from the pen drive itself. I didnt want to mess with any other HDD's and crap and since I wanted to carry the OS around with me it was just easier.
So, next I grabbed the Linux Installer for x86 (All distributions) of Mono installed it on the pen drive and compiled and ran my first "Hello World" application.
Amazingly easy.
Picked up from Jackie Goldstein's Weblog, Mainstream Support for VB6 Ends This Month.
Lets all have a moment of silence for good old VB6. I have spent many years with the product and almost every predecessor. I really cant say I'm sorry to see it go since its departure will only force people to make the move to .NET.
The Mainstream phase will be in effect for six years after the product's general availability date. Visual Basic 6.0 was generally available in January 1999. Mainstream support will end March 31, 2005.
The VB6 petition to MSFT just makes me shake my head. Hey people, its time to move on.
I'm sure we all have did these back in the college days...

I remember the first few times I took the test, i was basically right down the middle. 51% one way, 48% the other, etc. Maybe its my mood this morning.
