     Ever been in one of those situations when you are doing something on the computer, banned by every rule, and then your boss walks round the corner? This is the answer to all those problems! As soon as you see him, simply click and your screen is covered with a graph and textboxes making it look as if you are actually working! Could this be the end to sackings because of computer misuse? Don't know but it's saved me a couple of times! Hope you enjoy it!

Hmmm... How it can obtain 6 times 5 globes with such a poor code? And still it has a "Contest Winner" logo? I don't understand...

This isn't poor code. It is very simple, that is true. I agree with you however, that I don't know how it won the coding contest. I think maybe it is because of the idea more or less, than the code.

Guys, this code is very old. It was posted on 3/1/2000.

Back then, it wouldn't take much to win the coding contest.

What I don't agree with is the criteria to elect the code of the day. Been the most visited code doesn't mean that the code is good.

Oh well... It seems like I complain to deaf ears. I have complained about it before but nobody seems to agree with me.

This is by far a good program. It only shows a simple new form. If this is what it takes to be a contest winner then we all should be winners my friends
