I dont know is there an easier way to do that? i mean i am a begining 
programmer but i am really finding it difficult to join in the hype 
about this language so far. Alot of times ruby is described as being 
elegant i just havnt gotten that impression yet. It seems to just do 
things in different ways than other languages for teh sake of being 
different and thats all. If i am wrong then no big deal like i said i am 
a beginging programmer but that is the impressio i am getting from it so 
far.
