A long time ago I worked for the government and one of our contractors touted their productivity in lines of code in Forms 3 .inp files ... and claimed they were some kind of supercoders ... well ahead of the national average in producing "flawless" code.

Same with MS Visual C++ MFC ... lots of code and all you've got is an SDI or MDI window with nothing in it.

Where will we store software distribution files when they no longer fit on a DVD?
