Re: Big credit
Doh! way, way before the mouse was the trackball invented in the UK and patented in 1947 and before the trackball was the joystick.

When I first used Notes in the 90s it was a one stop shop. Email, database and project workflow etc.
I'm now using outlook, slack, Atlassian JIRA and Confluence to provide the same level of functionality.
The once other feature that notes had that was extremely useful in the days of dialup and Slooow links was it could replicate.
You are making an assumption that is was a nurse...
Could be a Doctor, cleaner, admin person. It could have been a MANAGER! Some of those are the the worst, they are an excellent example of the peter principle!
Remember "Those who can do, those who can't teach and those who have no bloody idea manage."
I'm maintaining a legacy system using VS 2017 and MFC. It runs under W10.
It is written using MFC and does exactly what the clients want. Is not sexy but it is a form fits function type of application. To rewrite in something newer and sexier would take considerable cost, time and effort.
"interference free" recommended bulb
That is not actually that wrong. I've had problems with a no name cheap mains powered LED bulbs causing RF interference. Mate had problems with loss of signal on a digital TV that only occurred at night. It turns out it was the bulb in the upstairs hall.
Replaced it with a better brand name and no more interference.
EV you don't get the advantage of heating as byproduct
The whole process is NOT 100% efficient, the waste is heat and that could be used to heat the passenger compartment.
The big issue is in the hot climates you will need to use energy for cooling. It is not fun in a car with no cooling at 40c plus.
I left ibm 10 years ago while they were busy outsourcing all of my team to a certain country. I was totally sick of herding cats, cleaning up baby sick and trying to keep customers happy and on side.
Best thing I did, stress levels dropped and I was actually respected for what I did in my new job.
Nothing that I have seen or heard since has changed my mind...
Just look at the damage caused by AM radio. In Australia all the talk back radio and shock jocks are on AM and the amount of hate and damage that is caused is considerably worse than any thing 5G can come up with.
And then consider the ELF band! Able to bring down aircraft especially around the Harold E Holt naval communications centre.

Maybe play about with it before you comment?
So it will support all of my MFC UI code, my ProC Oracle database access code and other such UI and DAL interfaces?
Over the last 30 years very little of the C/C++ code I have written has been 'pure', for it to work under WebAssembly it would have to have the UI and the DAL rewritten.
"Country Music is just sittin' on the floor drinkin' a bottle of Jack Daniels with the big, lonely, salty tears pourin' down your cheeks -"
Its like when you play a country music record backwards.

Consumer applications that only only run on Windows such as retail POS, warehouse, pharmacy, doctors surgery management software etc.
It might be possible to move these to the cloud, but the costs involved are high especially for specialist applications with a small installed user base such that it would not be currently economic.
Yes In Australia it ended up being a non event because people like me did things like working bloody hard for 18 months replacing a banking package fly in fly out for a regional bank.
I ended up with an absolutely obscene awesome level of frequent flier points. Me and the misses spent the next year on several holidays including the UK.
being employed is literally a get out of jail free card for any type of driving offense including running people down and killing them
Only if you need your drivers licence for employment.
As it is compared to many other countries your normal aussie drivers are crap. Can't keep left, always on the mobile phone, no idea what an indicator is, etc...
believed that any food was acceptable as long as it didn't actually trigger the gag reflex
Coming from a commonwealth country with an abundant supply of nature food where butter was cheaper than margarine. I was stunned by the quality of British food in places like the works canteen.
I just could not believe that my work mates considered that this was quality. It was then explained to me the concept of a "school" dinner. Whoa, my immediate thought was child abuse.
I ended up married to an English lady and returning to said commonwealth country and English lady if I'm not careful will revert to type with an evening meal of cheap baked beans on toast or a salad using something called "salad cream" which appears to be a by product of some unknown industrial chemical process making soap or something.
