i was wondering how long it would take before a pascal-lover played
an ace.  pointers are a somewhat advanced concept that standard basic 
does not utiliize. in that respect, pascal is more advanced. and i think
this is a concrete argument. but most ppl know that taking one trick 
does't always win a card game. 

both languages have tremendous value. and anyone who wants to be
a programmer should know both, at the very least. i've had fun with
this thread. and i've found intelligent life in this thread. there
is hardly anything wrong with spirited debate. 

cheers and productive programming,
Randy

the more i learn, the more i realize i really don't know all that much.
