Me and my big mouth. Again

Just a few weeks after betting the entire first year a million pounds each on the run of a program and losing I find myself doing the same kind of stupid thing again.

I was giving out copies of my wonderful C# notes (known in the department as the "Yellow Book" for reasons which become very obvious when you see a copy). In a rash moment I said that I paid a standard rate of a bottle of beer for every error that people found. This is kind of true, and usually a very cheap way of employing proof readers.

Of course, the next thing that happened was that someone found a typing mistake. But not just anyone, a charming young daughter of one of the visitors. Who was way to young for a bottle of Budweiser. I think we will send her a T shirt instead.

I'm now off to write "I must keep my stupid mouth shut" 100 times.

Actually Rob, I've found a few typographical errors in the yellow book, but do these count as 'beer winners', or am I looking for failings in your example source code pages? (Warning - I've got Visual Studio and I'm not afraid to use it)

Thanks for the presentation yesterday, you may just have convinced me that a BA in Computer Software Development is the way forward. I am however a little concerned over the superb array of jumpers that your colleagues had on display - Are they a pre-requisite for entry to any of your department's degrees?

Cheers,
Paul.

P.S. Michelle says thanks for her signed copy of the book and she promises to get out more.

P.P.S. Can you post the fix for Active Sync 4.1, as discussed yesterday?

Do what Tarek says, it worked for me.
