One day when I have a better grasp of the software and programming in

you all provided me, then execute the program and...
Hello World! (insert triumphant musical score here)

Thanks all, you've been great. Maybe in a few weeks I can contribute
something to this newsgroup.
Be well, but most of all, be true.
