but you'll have to decide for yourself wether that's going to be
a pitfall for you or not

PG-13 (one clue and three pots of coffee.


(That's a MPAA movie rating code; I'm sorry if the reference was unclear
to non-Americans. If it's unclear to an American s/he should get out
more.

*Modquote!*

I'm going to put that one into my file for my first-year students.
They come into the class thinking they know everything they need or
want to about the subject (in this case, Hebrew Bible). If learning
is either threatening or uninteresting to them, they are better off in
another class.

I started with a broke version of dedrat6.0 about 5 years ago, but
learned Bourne shell scripting on an IBM EXL server at school. My
first programming class was fortran on punch cards for an IBM 360. I
have never owned a MS operating system. My preference is the Amiga.

I have been using MScrap since 1982 and have yet to see anything worth
paying for. May wait until the end of the semester to upgrade, I need
the computer for class.
