Have you considered FORTRAN 19? I've heard that it's hard to find machines to punch Hollerith cards these days, but I'm sure that they can be located on Alibaba.com. If you can't find it, I think I still have a copy of Visual C++ 1.4 in my stockpile; I'll be happy to send it along, if I can find it, and you're feeling nostalgic.
You'll find, as you travel, that few hotels have a 13th floor; I prefer to stay in those that do, simply because I'm a bit contrarian. Most of the good things that have happened in my life happened on Friday, the 13th, so I have no irrational fear of that arbitrary date.

Friday 13th has always been lucky for my family, my Granddad was rescued for the sea twice(!) on Friday 13th in World War One (he was plucked out of the sea once and then that ship was sunk! so, maybe not as lucky as he could have been but...).

Yes they were.
Both VB.Net 13.0 and C++ 13.0 were ready for release in VS 2014 code name Dev 13.
However it only worked on Windows 9.
Windows 9 release was killed by Windows 10 which was released midway through 2015.
So VS 2014, VB.Net 13.0, C++ 13.0 and Windows 9 were effectively all fake news.
There is a reason for everything.

That's the only dumb VB fact you have?

Another fact:
SAP has dedicated it's version 13 of Crystal reports to Visual studio, making it's normal release 14 without official skipping 13

Wow! Looking at this thread suggests that any VB facts should be posted in Soapbox

I remember a company needing to change a product name in China as the original name contained 250 which reads as "bad luck" or "death" (one of those) in Chinese. My favorite is still the MR2 car which sold rather poorly in France.

Note that I find myself Offenbach on the same link to ToTD. Still quite sure I coda Handel this post as with the others.

I lost them and have no idea Verdi gone. I even made a threat to give him a Puccini mouth if they don't tell me. Nonetheless, Bizet brave or cowardly, they wouldn't say.

Dammit. I was trying to come up with a Puccini reference but I couldn’t come up with anything. Bravo!

Can you put together a Liszt of these money making composers?
And do they go Chopin with all this money?

I gotta stop - keeping up with the replies is starting to Strauss me out. I am going to be bouncing off the waltz before too long. And after 3-4 times that starts to hurt!

Agreed, they are so contrived, I cannot Ravel them any more.
