Greetings Paul.
I can understand your situation. When I was your age, it was hard for me =
to get the things I wanted. I found that doing yard work around the =
neighbourhood not only helped, it led to a small part of my tuition 5 =
years later to college.
However, having said that, I feel Euphoria is a steal at $29.95 for such =
a powerful language with a strong user community. That's roughly 3 weeks =
of $10 you mentioned. Hardly a setback in the goal to get a new CD-ROM. =
THe only way Euphoria could be any better is if RDS gave it away for =
free, which would be business suicide for RDS and a short lived =
existance for Euphoria.
I suggest you think it over again and put the money towards a good thing =
:)

Subject: Knew it wouldn't last.....
When I downloaded Euhporia and saw the word register, I knew it =
wouldn't last. Not to mention the $29.95 cost is, how shall I say, way =
out of my range. I'm 15 I don't have a summer job and $10 a week isn't =
going to cut it. Not to mention I desperatly need a new CD-ROM which =
will cost me big. 4x don't work.
So, I'm -sigh- not going to order the full version any time soon. I =
really hate to say that. But, I will get it eventually. So some =
questions about the full version:
1. Will the full version somehow increase mr programming skills.
2. Can I make independant .EXE files and send them to my friends.
3. How much is it.
Y'see, if it's $400, a la C++ or visual or whatever, forget it. That's =
insane.=20
I will be back......soon
-Shine on you crazy diamonds......
