From article <2733@portia.Stanford.EDU>, by mouser@portia.Stanford.EDU (Michael Wang): " ... I thought myself BASIC in about a week when I was twelve, and Pascal " in about a month when I was sixteen. Does that make programming any less of a ""craft" or "science" since it was so easy for me? I think not. So who said programming was a science? From the perspective of an amateur at both (me), programming and computer typesetting (not book design) are good parallels. An amateur can reasonably expect to rival a professional in a limited domain of interest, but will not be so facile or able to articulate what he does or what needs to be done. But you can't just "pick up" circuit design, I don't think. Greg, lee@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu
