Larry,
Woe unto you for that mainframe comment. Some of us old timers do have a (justifiable) attitude about mainframes. We worked in the days when there were only keyboards (not willing to admit to card-readers - that would make me older than dirt). Real men worked on the command line and only weenies used a GUI. We wrote our own compilers and used assembly language - leading us to occaisionally scream a lung out on the ground and kick it around. Ahhh, the good ol' days. Mouse? I don't need no stinkin' mouse <G>.

The only difference between a mechanical engineer and sanitary engineer is the mechanical one will throw out the extra pieces and the sanitary one will flush them. I know which type you are.
