yeah!
why in my day, there wasn't any of this fancy 'auto-auto indenting' I had
to hit ESC and type:set aito get my IDE to auto indent for me.
And colored syntax? Yeah, we had that. Light green for the characters and
and dark green for the background.
And another thing...we didn't have those fancy Quake/Diablo games to play
to unwind. We telneted to port 2800 of sneezy.cc.utexas.edu and MUD'd.
We had to use our imagination! yeah! :)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
