I also zipped up my resulting code, it's amazing how well microsoft
generated code can compress :)
It is what is being taught in schools, especially those using microsoft
tools. When I got my dba and client server programming degrees a few years
back., the teacher was amazed I could turn most of my projects in on a
floppy disk, everyone else had to use a Zip disk. I stripped out all the
extra crap that visual studio added so it was only what was needed on the
disk to run my programs. Even to the point of building out custom libraries
occasionally that had only what was needed to run my app. Why include a
fscking 300K library when you are only using 10K of code from it ?!?!?!?!
If someone tried to feed me that garbage in a school, I'd demand my
money back. Bravo for trimming the fat from your stuff.
