Google groups was much better when they only showed ... groups. That is what it was for. Now they show all kinds of other stuff; you might just as well do a Web search, and that's what I do. -- David Wilkinson Visual C++ MVP

David: thanks for this: I've found it in Word 2010! The problem was that I installed Office 2010 with the Italian UI, and I searched the term "Ribbon", which I thought was invariant in the Italian localization, e.g. like "mouse" or "file"... these English terms are not translated in Italian UIs. Instead the Italian localization of the UI uses a very different term: "barra multifunzione", which can be translated in English as "multifunction [tool]bar"...! This was misleading to me. Thanks, Giovanni

The one good thing I recall is that my sed, grep an awk skills were much better than they are today and making changes in multiple files took far less time than it does today. Of course, the spectre of accidently blowing your files away with an errant command was there too! -Pete |
