If you are using IE 7 or IE8 try IE7 Pro - I'm not sure about the security implications though |
I still miss the VAX. 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! |
