The speed loss from bad self-implemented garbage collection in large C
programs shouldn't be that bad that it would make compiled C run slower than
Euphoria. But then again, I didn't even know what garbage collection was
untill today :)

Haha that's funny!
Maybe we should all swap countries sometime :)

Belgium lost against Turkey at Euro2000 yesterday, marking the end of
Belgium in the contest. They lost 2-0 :(
But then again, I'm for Italy, and they won against Sweden 2-1 yesterday!
Italia per sempre!!!
