I'm not in the same league as you pro-coders, but when I first started learning Javascript and was introduced to Notepad++ it was a quantum leap from using Notepad (which I used to teach myself HTML and build my first website) That colour coding really does make life a whole lot easier.

CPM was much better than DOS! But it's never the best technology that wins out.

OS/9 was even better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-9. I used to run this mutli-tasking multi-user system on my old Tandy TRS-80 Colour Computer in 68KB of memory... I had to upgrade from 16KB to install it (expensive)!

In recent years outside of my normal developer setup I'd say Firebug has transformed the way I build.

I recall using both. Switching to first MSDOS and later PCDOS from CP/M in its assorted forms was a wonderful worklife-changing experience. A better file system that included novel concepts (at that end of the market) like hierarchical folders, compilers that worked and were fast and reliable. An infinitely more powerful batch file language, etc.

I hated it when for commercial reasons we still had to do some development on the relatively primitive CP/M systems for a couple of years after MSDOS appeared. Thankfully IMHO the market soon eliminated the obsolete tech.

Hello,

For me recently was http://www.thevisionworld.com web based Helpdesk must thing for our business, Presently we use Kayako, but I have to agree this guys have created a master product, we are still integrating thing and planing to switch soon.

Cost is also reasonable and their support is too good.

A product I found recently is Navicat, a well put together MySQL tool. Backing up your database is a piece of cake with this, and it beats phpmyadmin hands down. Link is to download.com as their own site is slow to load to today.
