HI there Jason,

Oh that's good he he.  I had a funny feeling about that being the
real person:
 "Of course there's a chance that it's not the real person anyway"

Either way, i dont listen to anyone else's idea of what programming
should be like anyway, unless it includes some good 'hard' examples that
really are better than something else is.
I like some things about C++ and other things i dont like.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
