- Yes, personal and simple is what I have in mind, as well as the ability
- to share with friends if it works. Likely not to be FTP'd to sites...I'm a
- "clueless newbie" after all, but aspiring to learn...with many little ideas
- in my head...but no current skills to carry them out. :> I used to program
- in Basic, Fortran and C, but that was between 10 and 21 years ago... :<
- (uh, 10 for C, 15-21 for Basic and 19 for Fortran - in case you're curious...)
