- Well, this is fun isn't it. You guys obviously know each other!
-
- I was only saying to a friend last night, how much I enjoy the comp.c++
- newsgroup because of the politeness and helpfulness of it's contributors.
- "You just don't find the vitriole and small-mindedness that characterises
- some groups" I said. "Ever tried getting any sense out the French and Italian
- culture newsgroups? - forget it, they are too busy slinging the insults to
- worry about the content".
-
- But don't get concerned; although a newbie, I won't let this kind of
- exchange spoil the simple fun I get from my rather pathetic attempts at
- programming.
-
- Now how does this "Hello World" code go again............
-
- Oh yes!, and I mustn't forget to check for spolling mistakes........
