I am still a tad miffed about the above being a tad too quick.  :::mutter,

Don't get me started on c++.  I still miss early gcc-4 days when I could get 
away with straight c code for EVERYTHING that mattered, including the kernel 
glibc and gcc.  I had an entire development system in under 150M.  No stinkin' 
python either!  :::sigh:::

I am still working on it.  So far it hasn't been all that interesting but it is 
very early on in this chapter of the book.  I am in no rush, how about you?

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
