As I pointed out before in:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=s0dy5.1995%24hD4.575937%40news1.rdc1.mi.home.com
There are some programmers that should just quit. No slight to the
original poster, but if he's not a clear thinker or gets into it and
has nothing but problems...all of the persistance in the world
wouldn't make him a good programmer or even an adaquate one.
Which isn't to say "don't try." That'd be nonsense and stupid. You
could be a savant. This might be "your thing." Try it. But if it
doesn't work out, PLEASE try a related field instead.
