This sounds a *lot* like a troll to me. The proper use of "amongst" seems to favor the troll theory, despite the amusing misspellings. But maybe I'm being unfair. Anyway, all computer languages are the same conceptually. One either "gets" the concept of giving a machine a list of instructions to follow, or one doesn't. So I'd recommend you try whichever language requires the least investment and see if you "get it". Java is free. So are many others. Pick any of them, and see if you "get it". You'll know. I do have to admit that I've met few stupid programmers, but I have met many intelligent folks who don't "get" programming. Nothing wrong with it. I don't consider myself stupid, but I am unable to walk into a room and figure out which person is most likely to buy something from me. I've met folks in marketing to whom this is so obvious they have a hard time explaining how. And they get paid more than me! ;-) --arne DISCLAIMER: These opinions and statements are those of the author and do not represent any views or positions of the Hewlett-Packard Co.
