Hi David,

Actually, way back in Grade 13, for some reason I was far more fascinated
by a short story by George Orwell called "The Machine Stops" than I was by
his "1984". Today, I think he was more on target with the future with that
one than he was with "1984".
AN> ... Year 2000: The year programmers hold the world hostage!

Better yet, blame Bill Gates. I saw the tail end of a thing on TV that
said that demand for Cobol programmers is on the rise again, and it has
to do with the year 2000. Hmmmm. Unfortunately, it was Fortran IV I was
learning in my 1st college year, way back in 68 or 69 (I forget).
So, are you going to jump on that all-in-one Developers package that
M$ is pushing - VC++, VB, VFP and an encrypted autograph by Bill Gates .
Take Care
