Yeah, but we can all relate stories to show things behaving in different
ways under different circumstances. The devil is in the detail. Here's a
conversation I had myself recently:
Me: "Have you got a Windows 7, 64 bit machine?"
Wife: "Yep. That's what I use all the time."
Me: "Have you ever installed VB5 on it?"
Wife: "Nope . . . what's VB5 anyway?"
Me: "Did you check the Registry like I told you
to confirm my own check which showed
that there are no references whatsoever to
a file called msvbvm50.dll?"
Wife: "Sure did. You were right there. Nothing at all."
Me: "Did you get the folder off that memory stick
I threw at you?"
Wife: "Yes. It contained two files, one called
test.exe and another called msvbvm50.dll
. . . and stop throwing things like that!"
Me: "Did you run test.exe and did it run okay?"
Wife: "Yes, it ran fine."
Me: "What's for dinner this evening?"
Wife: "Your friend from The States is over here
on holiday with his wife. They are coming
for dinner. We're having a good old American
evening . . . pork belly and grits out by the
cement pond."
Me: "Mmmm. That'll be nice . . . I'd best nip up to
the loft and see if I can find that old bottle of
whisky with an 'e' in it . . . etc, etc"
