[dba-Tech] Uninstall a program in Windows 8

Hear, hear!! Props to the business app developers (just because I are one)
who daily do battle with users who either don't know what they really want
until you write it and they see and then figure it out, or users who know
exactly what they want and call you every day to tell you how 'exactly what
they want' today differs from what they wanted yesterday.  Which you need to
not charge them for.

 Hi Arthur --

Well, I did develop a few compilers/translators/interpreters in the past
(quite some time ago and processing simpler than Clipper's programming
language instructions/directives) and they were successfully used by my
colleagues and customers and I didn't use other compilers to developer that
compilers I have used assemblers and linkers :)

Just wanted to note that I'd not differentiate "real" and "fake" programmers
by their ability to write compilers  - IMO developing business applications
is often a way more complicated that writing compilers as compilers do have
strictly defined and relatively stable "rules of the game" (source language
formal syntax and semantics) and projects' budgets, and modern business
applications do have constantly changing specs, which require special
skills/experience from their programmers/developers to keep business
applications up-to-date with subject area business rules, in context of
projects' tight budgets and deadlines...
