I've been around this UNIX thing for quite a while and have enjoyed most minutes of it. I took my formative years not as frustration, but as a "learning" experience. It helped, too, that I had a really anal SOB for a teacher when I first started learning. We spent weeks doing nothing but Regular Expressions in vi and sed. Nothing regular about them! I didn't have the "pleasure" of learning computers on a Windows system, so UNIX (and Macs) seems more natural to me than anything coming out of Redmond. Windows, now *that's* frustrating! -john
