I am a fossil.

Once, long ago, I was into new stuff. I always made sure to have the latest and greatest of whatever Microsoft was releasing as soon as it hit pre-alpha. Via whatever nefarious means I could. Hell - I was a student. Lets not pretend I ever paid for anything.

Now, I find myself avoiding .NET, avoiding C#, avoiding XML. Screw it, I am avoiding C++ and thats what I do. The new c++ that is. The one with the templates and new fangled casts and far too many <>'s. C++ in my mind is not meand to have <>'s. Anywhere. Ever. That kind of crap is for XML, and I avoid that like the plague.
