>Just for laugh. Ten years ago, a manager asked me to write a VB routine to manipulate strings before sending them to another process. The VB routine took about 2 hours to manipulate about 10,000 records (one line per record). I rewrote the routine using Borland C++ and the process took less than 1.5 seconds...

Ten years ago? C++? Wow. Has it really been around that long? I can't remember the year Borland released their C++ but that made it "official". The language was standard and stable. Borland had that much respect back then. Nowadays do we notice if Borland releases something?
