    I was looking at the source code of VB.NET project a few minutes ago. I love this. "Me.Icon..." "Me.Button..." "Me.Name..." How egocentric can you get? VB.NET is like listening to a two year old. Me this, me that. :laugh::laugh::laugh: Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

You would never say "Me run". at best, you could use "me" as an parameter to a function I.Serialize(me). Or you could use "My" as a way to access member variables (but not to perform actions): "My.Button". but "me" makes no sense. :) -c

            "Me.Icon..." "Me.Button..." "Me.Name..." But, how is this different from this->Icon; this->Button; this->Name; Nothing is easier than expressing stupidity, you can do it in any language ;-)

              Read both out loud. Which one makes your head hurt after an 8 hour day? I think the C++ syntax reads closer to how we speak than the VB syntax. Or is it Me.think?

                  "Read both out loud. Which one makes your head hurt after an 8 hour day?" No thanks, haven't got headache medicine with me. But Me.think() if(this->readOutLoad()) { this->brainExplode(); } Ok, you win. This brain will probably explode in a nicer pattern. Me.lose()

                                          I see your point! This just proves that every action, however small they may be, counts. Small small changes here and there can make one hell of a difference in the future. This also proves that we'll never be able to construct time travelling machines. Because if it was possible, we wouldn't be discussing this right now. :-D -- Tune your mind, reach inside, peel away Touch, Taste, Feel, Saturation
