Those typos are supposed to be there. I put them in to pick at Ray Fischer for his attitude towards beginners in C++. Just two of the typos that I can recall right off are: hyprcrites instead of hypocrits and ab! out instead of about I'm a prankster and like picking at people if they deserve it and well in my eyes Ray Fischer definitely deserved it for his attitude and one way mind. I've kept my mind open to all forms of programming, HTML, C, C++, Java, Assembly, etc., but Mr. Fischer doesn't seem to be opened minded. He appears to me as the type of person that only goes with what he thinks is right and foget what the actual "right way to do things". I am, as I said before, a beginner, but at least I plan to help beginners whenever I become good enough to help them. The reason I say "good enough" instead of an expert programmer is because there is no such thing as an expert programmer. The term "expert programmer" implies that you know everything about programming and that just isn't humanly possible because there is too much to learn and there is always new things and methods being thought of to help make C++ programming faster or to make a program built with C++ faster and more useful than it would just using the normal ways that us "beginners" use to do things. Funny part is there are some "beginners" out there somewhere that have learned something Mr. Fischer hasn't and can do things he can't, but they are a beginner because they have only been doing it a few months and know the equivalent of an expert because he studies 24/7. Sorry, I get going when I talk about something that is important to me. --Clayton Weaver _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
