#2I was curious about how small (file size) and efficient (memory) I could write a program with a GUI and came across this old gem. Most of them have links to their source.

This is refreshing to see. I was just at the doctor today, and they mentioned how a recent system update (they use a system called Epic) made their receipt printing go from an abysmal 30 seconds to a full minute.
It seems that programs get bloated and slower with each passing day. I'd love to see a Renaissance of small, focused, efficient applications.

Bloat wouldn't even account for a delay this long. This seems to be the realm of bad design or overly cautious developers. My guess is that 'printing the receipt' really means process the transaction hitting a bunch of different record stores and APIs along the way and that the system waits for all of that to complete before sending the print job.

#7I've been using a replacement of network>Proxomitron proxy filter tool called Proxydomo available on github. God bless the guy that reverse engineered the original.

From what I've heard, Epic is the best out of all the EMR (electronic medical record) software platforms!

Quite the back handed compliment! They are one of the better ones but the bar is extremely low.
