Only one "as listed below" is acknowledged as Microsoft's.

It might help if he credited the original authors instead of lying
about who wrote the packaged code.

4 years prior to my even existing.

Not that it matters much. In 8 more
years, I'll be older than my Dad.

I don't think I ever tried to say I'd be doing this longer than you Ant.

That's been my primary issue with him. And he hasn't stolen anything from
me; it just irks me that he won't give credit where credit is due; the
people he did steal from.

I don't even care about his attitude here or the way he ... converses, if
he'd just credit the original authors; I'd quit with him altogether. I
probably will anyway, just because it's old and boring.

Since 1974 ? Hmmmm. I doubt it that you were programming at that time. Have you used
punch cards at all in your time at all ? if that what you posted would be only be
true.

An old vet friend of mine was using punch cards around that time; so it's
entirely possible. I don't doubt what Ant has to say tho... I haven't found
his credibility to be of any issue.

Punch cards, both the 96 and the earlier version as well as having to
toggle instructions into the "computer" via switches and then
increment... We've come a long way since those days.

Why do you doubt it? My first programming class (Fortran) used card
readers and was before 1974. I imagine there are a number of others around
here who have similar experiences.

Used "punch cards" in college.

Is he going to be stuck in time? Hang on a minute, are you saying he
was only 8 or 9 years old when you were born?

You never know, you may end up doing that - or does being an old geek
not appeal?
