I see this all the time in class. I actually posted a comment of that sort to one of my profs, who is going to use the comment in a paper. There seem to be so many people anxious and able to write 'Insta-Ware' with Visual tools, but they actually lack the fundamental understanding of problem solving and how it applies to computers. It's like the difference between a CAD class and a class in Computer Engineering Graphics. One teaches how to draw on a computer, the other teaches how to engineer with said tool. I hope to be different when i graduate. jm -- -------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org "Doors to the pleasures of heaven or hell, and i didn't care which." -------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
