Pretty much VC++ for everything, as thats all I know. Used to do AppleBASIC on an Apple 2, a long time ago. Well, maybe no more than 9 or so years ago. I think we had the Last functioning Apple 2 used by real people (schools have a million of the things, at least around here they do)

The sweet tea again. Oh no. Iced tea with sugar. It is how it is always done up here in Canada.

Unless I am wrong about what sweet tea is??<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

TS, they are, in fact, two different things. In sweet tea, the sugar is mixed into the tea during the brewing process. The sugar is already dissolved in the pitcher of tea in the refrigerator. What I think you are drinking is called (in the southern US) unsweetened tea. Trust me, it makes a world of difference! http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Wendell: no doubt! (The rest of the world needs to find out for itself!) http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

Tawqus: ditto!

My favorite programming language? Since I don't program, that's a tough one to answer! (Am I the only one around here who doesn't?) Since I'm sure my geek rating takes a major nosedive from that, I gotta make up for it by throwing out a random SAT word.

No - it's actually out for Windows now (see blitzbasic.com if you're interested). However, my first computer was a late-1981 TRS-80 Color Computer which came with BASIC built-in - that's where I learned to program. While I was intrigued by the Amiga when it came out (since it was so well-designed), I had to pass due to its lack of software (also a problem with the Color Computer). I finally replaced my beloved 1 MHz 8-bit CoCo in early 1988 with a PC-clone Tandy 1000 EX (a whopping 7 MHz 16-bit - woo-hoo!). Since then, I've stuck with PC machines at home solely because non-mainstream games (like wargames) show up there more often than anywhere else.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Try saying "Pepto-Bismol" twice every 4 hours and see if it clears up http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif.

Quikngruvn: I don't program much either; I fooled around with shell scripts & nawk scripts for Unix for a couple years, but changed jobs Last November and haven't needed to do that. I've been designing communication systems instead...

As for clothes, I'm generally a jeans & short-sleeved polo shirt kinda guy. Of course, at work I have to wear button-down shirts and dress pants. I also try to wear as little as possible around the house - fortunately for me, so does my girlfriend...

Anyway, to get back to the original topic for this OT thread: growing up, I always went for Dunkin Donuts. When I moved to Northern Virginia a few years ago, I found a little sole-proprietor shop that sold good donuts (and great apple fritters). But they closed. So I went back to Dunkin Donuts for a while; then my girlfriend introduced me to Krispy Kremes (although we have to get them from the grocery store, 'cause there isn't a KK outlet anywhere nearby). I also like the Entenmann's stuff you can get at the grocery...

Re: OT- Best Snack Donut
 

Krispy Kremes? Those aren't donuts, they are glorified rings of sugar. They're smaller and more expensive than donuts at other stores.

Anyways, I'd say that little chocolate donuts are the best kind of donuts.

Sweet tea ==== Iced Tea.

If you have to add sugar to your glass of tea to sweeten it, then no, they are not the same.

The thing about Krispy Kreme is that, here in the south, we eat everything fried: pastries, fish, vegetables, turkeys....

Fried vegetables? Hmm... sounds very strange...

It's not whether you win or lose that counts: it's how much pain you inflict along the way.

Strange? Never had chinese food?

My favourite snack food is from my student days: Chesey chips. Grated cheddar on chips (US=French Fries). Tasty, salty, greasy AND fattening. The perfect compliment to cheap student beer.
