Something else is going on here, and I think most We are. Those of us capable of dealing with abstractions instead of implementations and "doing it right" instead of slinging code as fast as possible. Those of us having that odd character flaw that we don't mind not being able to spend lots of time debugging. Those of us who aren't desperate to get C++ and Java on our r�sum�s. -- Wes Groleau Can we afford to be relevant? http://www.cetesol.org/stevick.html
