I own a legit copy of Visual C++ 6.0

Its nice but it is 10 years old and aimed at C++.

A ten year old compiler will be worn out by now.
Personally I never go more than three years with a car, for example.
Get a brand new one.


I'm still driving my 1995 full-sized Bronco, and plan to for many years
to come, thank you very much. New cars are a ludicrous waste of money,
I never buy one unless it's at least four years old. Get ones with low
mileage (international - kilometerage) and let the fool new-car buyer
take the big depreciation hit.
