Watching negative numbers?

NOTE:
With apologies TO the OP and to keep this thread 'On Topic', can we perhaps continue this philosophical VS, University and 64bit discussion elsewhere (if there is any intention to continue with it),.. as (being the Campus), is best to try and 'Keep things on Track' as it were

Oh, c'mon Stoo, don't spoil our fun!

Visual Studio was built and maintained by a large and experienced staff and has more 400 AI-infused extensions.

What you wrote may be true, but so what? it's irrelevant. The fact is you don't need Visual Studio to write 64-bit assembly-language programs.

Some people (like you, f'rinstance) may prefer VS and that's fine; to each their own. But to imply that anything that doesn't use VS is inferior is absurd.

And yes, lots (a subset of "some") of folks here don't use VS.

And the AI reference is totally ridiculous ...

  No intention to 'spoil' your fun but as has often been the case in the past,.. this could go on ad infinitum, so if it does, would (as suggested), be best in it's own thread

Hopefully we'll get back to the OP's problem soon.
