Hello Maurice, nice talking to you !  

 MK> Not really.  I was attempting to explain my position wrt computers and
 MK> software and probably did a poor job of it.

        No, no ! I got you fine. Just that I am really out in left
  field and no paddle ;-)

 MK> if MS's spin on this is accurate that is.  I am
 MK> not aware how they came up with 40%.
 
        I have not seen that figure being tossed about.

 JP>   I know my limits and programming was a downfall in my
 JP>   life. I tried ML with a Commodore and it was taking so long to get
 JP>   things going that I gave up. I am an MS user

        I was really looking forward to master the binary world. I
  wish that I could have been born 45 years later and as my daughter
  started at about that magic 15 in programming, I presume that I
  could have too. No use crying over spilt milk.

 MK> I don't have a problem with that.
 
        Thanks.

 MK> Mine too.  I think only our respective approaches on how to employ the
 MK> short paddle is different.

        Mine only has a handle, no blade. ;-)

 MK> France?
 
        I was brought up in French and educated too. But I am
  Canadian, from Montreal. Did not speak a word of English until
  I joined the Air force.   A struggle for survival, it was.

     
       From TI, all my best wishes for this Season.
 May we all live it as He meant it !
