Chances are, a lot of people are going to soil their pants. As it is, I've been reading up on it myself -- it seems fitting to use a toy language like VB for a toy OS like Windows. I suppose I shouldn't complain too much; it *does* pay the bills, and it's not like the boss insists that I run XP at home. Besides, I tried C++ under Windows and had nightmares for a month. > Close, but not quite. Abusing Python's functional features: Ah. It looked like LISP because I've been learning a bit of elisp so I can play with XEmacs a bit. For scripting I've been learning to read Perl. I might not hack Perl much, but if I'm going to use Unix I should at least know how to read the stuff. -- Matthew Graybosch http://www.starbreaker.net GnuPG Key ID: 0x45BC4581 "Sex, Unix, and rock 'n roll" --=.UUOESLHHr/bW88 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE8M55XXG3c5kW8RYERAknnAJ9tCcKen5f+KRt51higuufNXLwdVwCg7d2u bjJu5G2gUWbY1foaltAasS4= =SXAE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.UUOESLHHr/bW88--
