I agree completely. I didn't have a clue that Matt is as young as he is. I have this irrational belief that young whippersnappers can't write outstanding code. I might not have filled my workbench disk with his code if I'd known he's so young. :-) > > Name: Leo L.

It's almost as depressing as all of the Playboy playmates who are 8 or 9 years younger than I am. Growing old is hell. :-) Name: Gary R. Heffelfinger Sex: Sure. School: Furman University (Go `Dins!)
