yep, I have one that was retired at our office years ago... still works, have the box, all the docs, and a dozen or so disks.

One of the big problems that I find is that nobody seems to manufacture a PCI card to support the floppy interface. IDE sure. But not floppy.
If the motherboard doesn't support it, then you're sh*t out of luck.

|

Yep, that's where I'm glad I had the foresight to buy a USB floppy, it's just finding the dang thing...
|

There are motherboards that still have IDE interface. Search for "industrial motherboard with IDE." You can also find ones with ISA slots.
(That reminds me, I should update my 1989 DOS-based program that controls a process so it can use a USB version of the ISA I/O card....)

Updating your resume?

The ability to write:
double Wonderful = 2^3;
Instead, I have to write
double awful = Math.Pow(2,3);
|
|
|
|
|
Or...
double prettyOK = 2 * 2 * 2;
or
double worksForMe = 1 << 3;

Fine
Dim Pedantic as Double = 2^3
|
|
|
|
|
Dim itWorksInVBAnywaySoWhatAreYouComplainingAbout As Double = 2 ^ 3

int TheEnd = 3;
double SomeStupidResultIDontReallyCareAbout = 1;
for (int ThisIsGettignReallyPassiveAgressive = 0; ThisIsGettignReallyPassiveAgressive < TheEnd; ThisIsGettignReallyPassiveAgressive++)
{
SomeStupidResultIDontReallyCareAbout *= 2;
}
|
|
|
|
|
Or ...
double simple = 8;
|
|
|
|
|
Well I don't think that's all that great.
double Wonderful = 2^3;
looks like it should set Wonderful to 1.

I think you are on point(ers)?

That is correct, because it remainds us all on the power of C++.
The pure power of of pointer arithmetics and function pointers isnt to top.

They keep telling me that C++ code can be very fast, but it takes a very long time to code.

So, you're in some kind of hurry.
Well - it take less time to eat a raw potato right our of the garden - but it taste a whole lot better if you wash it and bake it first, then eat it . . . although it takes a bit longer.
Of course - knowing what you're doing helps, too, but that's rather judgemental.

Personally, I prefer the potatoes raw - wash, peel, eat like an apple.

Demon! Go Back to your VB6 !

Slow to code, but with the potential to fail very, very quickly.

well.. you can still do it with ints!
int x = 2;
int y = 3;
Console.WriteLine(x ^ y)
Works fine by me!

aren't you the lucky one

Are you sure?
'^' is the C# bitwise XOR operator, so you'll get 1, not 8...([PickyPickyMode]if you add the missinge semicolon so it'll compile[/PickyPickyMode])

Indeed!

From the Math.Pow bit, I assume not!
