(((((scheme)(is))fun))) ((though(it)can))(cause(many(nightmare))s)) I hated using it, but I loved it at the same point, it was a great learning tool. I was one of those tards who read through "Learn C++ in 21 Days" and thought I could program, so this was an appropriate smack-down. Once I started to get it, the simple beauty of some of that code still kinda makes my jaw drop. I still can't write code in any language worth a damn, [compared to most CSci friends, who tend to be exceptional] but I can appreciate others' code... _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
