(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
 
6/9/2009 4:11:31 PM: Andy

Let us know its address, if you`ll start it.
All your projects posted here are always useful and ...emmm...smart, elegant (with such ones smbd studies VB). Here`re few authors posting cool works which become winners later. You`re among that authors.

Good luck, and I know, you`ll back...
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
 
6/9/2009 6:54:06 PM: TheBigB

Thanks for everything.

Can't blame you for leaving because vb6 on pscode is pretty much dieing...
It still is great as a source-archive, but the number of new submissions have lowered dramatically over the past few years.

Anyway, best of luck!

By the way, I have seen you pretty active on VBF lately are you staying there?

Hi dear!
Yuor adios sounds like a farewell, I hope isn't so and that you will continue at least to inform PSC fans of your progresses and give them the url of your new site... :)

Here is my site anyway:
http://cecchi.infinito.it
where you can download my UnicodeFileManager (in the bottom of the web page) which you will find useful for your daily exploration of your file system (contains a midi recorder also).

All the best!

No offence intended but this is a prime example of why voting is meaningless. Someone writes a short goodbye message and 23 people give it 23 excellent votes. It will probably win the monthly voting contest.

I've been meaning to get up with you on the code you sent me, but have been tied up lately building a house. The code is flawless as always, it's worked without a hitch thusfar. Thanks!

I hope you will send me a link to your new site when you get it up. You have been a valuable asset to me and to PSC as I'm sure the other users here would agree. We'll miss you here though.
