And the answer is... (shame on you smarta$$es out there...) 41,000 lines 
just to load a menu and and login window, and then quit back out. If I 
weren't so old, I'd be really pissed off. But moral indignation just 
isn't as much fun when you're an old fart.

<rof'l>. No, John, that'd be the answer if _I_ wrote the app. I once 
wrote an entire accounting system using BROWSE. I swear I am not making 
this up.

Because he's an immature, pussy-whipped, arrogant little sh!t. <s> He's 
one of these kids who had an idea of how to build an app framework that 
was going to take over the world and locked himself in his bedroom in 
his parent's house for 3 years. Then he met a girl, got laid, ended up 
with a kid and now spends all his time bouncing between a real job and 
saying "Yes, dear."

Oh, the customer he left high and dry? Well, don't you see, the 
developer has a WIFE and a CHILD to provide for now. _We_ wouldn't 
understand because he's the only one in the world in this situation.

Twit. I can understand a guy who writes rotten code. Or who doesn't 
document his work. We've all done that. But a guy without a backbone, 
sorry, shoulda left THAT one up on the mountain when he was in diapers.

Pardon my French. <s>

Then MB said some more stuff:

 >> inheriting old apps) seemed to help land this gig?

Ha. I've had this one for over a year. It took me over 20 hours just to 
figure out where the code at the end of a menu call was. I kid you not.

"Inheriting an Application" was just the first part of the resultant sob 
story. More jocularity to come.
