  26. C is a *middle-level* language.  C++, Pascal, and BASIC are high-level
  27. languages.  Assembly is a low-level language.  Nobody uses machine
  28. code anymore, except for chip designers.
  29.  
  30. Also, you weren't talking to the person you think you were... notice
  31. the extra set of '>' signs, indicating that you were responding to
  32. someone who quoted that, not the person who said it.
