< marnanel> getting an email from the people you wrote a database app for ten years ago to say that it's still working fine... is an awesome thing.
<@tberman> marnanel: did it have money in it?
< marnanel> the email? no.
< marnanel> nor, I'm pleased to report, did it say "Would you do some free consultancy for us?"
< marnanel> Ah, I remember that app so well. It was distributed onto laptops with synchronisation when they were docked. And it printed letters. And it had a built-in macro language based on Forth. And it was written in Visual Basic.
< marnanel> I was young and foolish.Comment: #gnome-hackers
