If you are using IE 7 or IE8 try IE7 Pro - I'm not sure about the security implications though

IE7 pro is a godsend on IE7, but when I tried it on IE8 most of the features were missing. Maybe it's been updated since then, but if it hasn't then you'll find it isn't the same if you use it on IE8

I still miss the VAX.

I never got to use one.

Well, not quite true. One day a call came in, "such and such a system is broken, send someone to fix it" (this being in the days before you could expect to fix anything remotely).

Guy whose project it was was on holiday, so I asked around the office for anyone who knew any VAX assembler.

Answer came there none. So I, who had never used a VAX before, let along written assembler for it, found myself on the plane the next morning - being the boss I couldn't really delegate it to someone else who didn't know what they were doing either, could I. I turned up at the customer's office, in Edinburgh, in August, and got the secretary to try to find me a bed for the night whilst I started looking at the problem.

No chance of anywhere to sleep, obviously, not with the festival on, so clearly I had to fix the problem the same day.

Erm ... I succeeded. It turned out I needed to write one line of code, which I managed to get done well before the last plane of the day left. The most expensive one line anyone has ever paid me to write!

Still using VAX. And Alpha.

My first go at a computer was the DEC 11/780 as well as a PDP 11-series (PDP 11-44?). I've been a faithful to the OpenVMS/VMS operating system since 1986 and still use it on a daily basis to this day. (As a Systems Manager/Systems Engineer)

Nothing like a good, and secure, operating system!
