I DID look at it, Hank...

I also attempted a few codings, but I'm really just not interested in it. I'm
NOT an object-oriented kinda guy. When I look at the Lua stuff, my mind
just goes "What?"

Remember now, you're talking to a Brain-Dead ex-Jarhead who lives in
the working man's world. I don't know BEANS about science. For some
strange reason though, I love it... Go figure. <shrug> The only reason I
do what I do here is because the working man usually PAYS for science -
either through taxes - or by visiting exploratorium's, Disney World, etc.

I think that you smart guys oughtta be able to figure out that the
more you can do to elicit interest in space, science and all of its
fascinations by the general public, the better off we'll ALL be. People will
be happier about their taxes, and scientists will get more money to
spend on exploring the Universe.

Thanks for trying to bolster my confidence though. :wink:

True enough, my friend...

But as long as NASA (here in the U.S.) actually spends part of my money in
exploring space I DO feel better about paying taxes. Of course, in MY case
now - after my last hospital visit - it seems that I no longer have to pay ANY
taxes.

Talk about living long enough to enjoy life? Methinks I just made it. <smirk>
