I know this is supposed to be for C++, but the use of computers and information is much more than just a language. I think that is why Van had us do emailing, and newsgroup postings. There is a great big world out there, and the more we learn now, the better prepared we will be for "the real world." About Trolls: A Troll is someone who posts on a newsgroup with the intent of making people upset. Sometimes a post may seem to be trollish, but that may be because of misinterpetation. A true Troll INTENDS to be inflammatory and rude. BTW, good move setting the subject line as OFF TOPIC. Now people can ignore it if they don't want to read non-class postings. :) Mary -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Windows 98 Pentium of Borg--�Prepare to be assimil-Gated� XPA# 20255, ROOMM# 152, OEM# 397 FMU# 135 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
