The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

All the way back in 2002 I had a great Viewsonic PocketPC running Windows PocketPC 2002.
It was really great. I could read ebooks on it (remember Microsoft .LIT and MS Reader? most likely you don't) many years before Kindle and Amazon.

My cubicle neighbor at the time had PocketPC via Dell which was also a phone. A PHONE!! Keep in mind that Apple did not release the iPhone until June 29, 2007.

It is crazy that M$ failed at this. They were like 5 years ahead and they still couldn't win.
