  • Reader Feedback and Insights: Odds and Ends Always Popular

    September 4, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Dear Readers:

    I thought I’d share a few of the many comments that I’ve received about the Odds and Ends column that I periodically publish in Midrange Guru.

    — Ted

    I love your Odds and Ends column. Please publish it more often–at least once a week. That is how I learn some programming tricks. Even if you don’t get questions from programmers, I am sure that you have enough tricks (by tricks, I mean smart way of doing things) that could help readers of Midrange Guru.

    — Manouchehr

    Your Odds and Ends column is wonderful. I have wondered for years how to keep debug from staying on an F spec for repeated F10s . Thanks!

    — Toni

    This is a great feature.  Please keep this column going.

    — Sonny

    I love the Odds and Ends!

    — Michelle
