Aww, shucks, Pete. *blush*
I forgot to mention that, while I was learning Pascal on that
minicomputer at night, my time after school was spent working at
Princeton University on the Navier-Stokes Supercomputer Project. The
pay was decent but the experience was priceless.
Now *that* was a blatant, shameless brag..but hey, I worked very hard,
and I'm proud of it!
