  Naaaa, Pascal looks closer to english. :)

  I wouldn't say I vehemently advocate dos and/or os/2.  I say use what
works for you.  I have Linux machines, an iMac, and the OS/2 machine which
I prefer for the fidonet / BBS stuff.  The one thing I don't have a
dedicated machine for is Windows but I do have windows running in Parallels
on the mac for work software.

  As for programming, I was taught to program in highschool, the language
was pascal, I'm not a serious programmer nor have any desire to be one.  So
the way I look at it, for the one or two text mode programs I write in a
year why should I learn anything new?  

  I'm also in my early 30's not 40's.  (33 to be exact)  Just started life
a lot earlier then most people did.


Cheers,
Shawn
