I still crack up every time I see the "master programmer" part, which uses COM. The joke here is the ridiculous overhead that the COM boilerplate is putting in isn't even exaggerated -- most of this stuff would actually feature in a real-world program. (Of course, in a real-world program it would be a relatively smaller.)

COM was the hammer for the longest time, i'm glad .NET is making its way :)
