    last day, a close friend asked : "What do i need to become a programmer ?"... i responded: "Well... first you have to read a lot of stuff..." my friend: "what kind of stuff? " me: "some stuff of logic, algorithms, OOP, and... " - he didn't let me finish when he said - "Maybe not a programmer, maybe i really want to become a technician..." :doh:

      That's how to become a good programmer. Becoming a bad programmer is easier: Get VisualBasic and practise all night long. ;P

          Typo - The original spelling was private String paula = "**Brillant**"; :) I can only hope the story is false. Anyway, that's a fiver.

                        That's how to become a good bad programmer. Becoming an average bad programmer is easier: Get VisualBasic and... go to sleep. ;)

                            I think it's the other way around. Cut, Drag and Paste are the hard ones. Everyone knows about Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. ;)
