Technical superiority may be a hindrance. Never underestimate the power of the dark side, Luke. I (unfortunately, because I think the guy's manner is making linux et al look bad) have to agree with gold_bag that there are much better ways to program than writing entire applications in C++. > >Regards! >Dave > > > >gold_bag@yahoo.com wrote in message <352523DB.3BF9@yahoo.com>... >>Intel corp to ship 2400 MHZ Pentiums in Q1'99!!
