What's the difference between recursive and redundant? ;P

Ha, your right ... I did mean brain! My appologies to the Brian's of the world :)

Absolutely, the icons are backwards. There are new factors as well. News sites are filtered by political and financial interests, the search & find icons could be an animated brian with soap being poured into it. For social networks, it could perhaps be an icon of someone wispering into anothers ear. lol

Whateva does the job. My favorite has always been Kornshell. Powershell is cool, but seems to lack the elegance of some of the Unix Shells. .bat files are quick and easy, take very little setup/configuration. However, I emphisize with younger programmers, who want to use something new, or improve make thier skill set more competitive. Just remember that if you dont want to box yourself in (kill any oportunity for promotion), dont make it so complex that someone will never be albe to replace you.
