Hold on, bold and brave young man. But in 25 years - you then will be
married, got a full-time job (but not programmer), a bunch of children and
your beloved wife doesn't like computers very much - then we'll meet again
and discuss this one more time :-))).



( Okay Mike, I know this is a programming echo :-). But upon this - I  
couldn't resist).

Best wishes to France from Germany
