I did that for a while to built some old software. Despite some of it's problems, it felt like a Ferrari compared to modern Visual Studio. (So, when Microsoft said that "10 was the next 6", I said "not even close.")

I originally installed it to be able to work from home on a project that I supported/maintained/programmed at my last job. It's a good IDE but I like VS2010 better, even though it does have it's problems.

So, I'm enjoying my lunch: a bowl of oatmeal heavily infested with raisins and unsalted peanuts. I found it necessary to explain why oatmeal is the ideal food.
"Why?", I was asked.
"Well", I explained, "suppose I finish the oatmeal. Then, for some reason, I get nauseous. Well, if I manage to catch the puke in my original bowl, it not only looks the same as when originally prepared, but it's even still warm and ready to eat again!"

I had heard that oats were "food for Scotsmen".
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Sure is, I'm sure you will be able to find the TV adds from over the years on youtube, just search "Scotts Porridge Oats".....

Makes sense. Much chance of accidentally wasting the food. That's thrifty at its best.

The Arizona Diamondbacks (that's a Major League Baseball team to you heathens) had their Star Wars Day last month, many people/families dressed up, and there was a parade.
There was also a costume contest which a very young (5 or 6?) Luke and Leia won.
