What in blue blazes does that have to do with anything? You're hardly
in a minority around here. Anyway, who do you think writes the cracks

They're the facts of life for most techie undergrads, you've either

Really? And suggesting that the OP "buy" Visual Studio for his/her
(most likely) first school C++ assignment would be one of those
thoughtful posts?

What other words of wisdom are we in for?

That might have been "nice logic" for you, but personally, I'd have
just called it; pointing out the blindingly obvious.
