A few years back I discovered (more or less by chance) that despite crappy office chairs causing pain in my lower back if I sit in them for extended periods without taking a walk every 45 min or so, what my back demands to be happy is a back that's as tall as it is and as broad as my shoulders.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I now have a standing desk.
I avoid chairs altogether.
If you cannot handle standing all day, switch back and forth between standing and sitting.

After the two days delay it is safe to say I have made it home.

Suspicious that they kept you out until the polls were closed and the votes counted, eh?

At what point was it dangerous to say, "I have made it home"?

Some of their later stuff, they are more Blues Rock...if you can find them they did a lot recording in India and Robert Plant & Jimmy Page have done some other stuff with Indian folk muso, worth exploring...

I need a piece of advice. I would Google it if I had any clue what to Google for, but seeing that I havne't, I thought that I would check with all the wise guys here in the Lounge (gotta be wise to be here, right?):
I have a small C# application, very simple. So simple that I really couldn't be bothered writing a manual for it.
But I do need to give the users a quick clue as to what button they ought to click first when they start up the application the first time.
I thought of showing a balloon tooltip on app startup, and I know that CP has a lot of articles about that. Problem is that most of them are in C++ and the few that aren't are old and butt-ugly.
So my question to you is: What can I do instead of a balloon tooltip to attract the users attention to a specific control in an easy to understand and good-looking way? Any suggestions?
TIA!

How about a good old readme.txt that no one will read?
Just how crazy is your UI anyway, that you have to do this in the first place?

Very simple, not crazy at all, but never underestinate the stupidity of the average user...

Winform or WPF? Either way a tooltip should be trivial
