Hello everyone, Very well, this discussion has played out so to speak, thus I have decided to submit this last post, so as to thank everyone who participated - I appreciate it quite a bit, and find the generous and helpful attitude of every single poster to be very encouraging as it bodes well for future interaction with Rubyists. I also want to let everyone know that I have decided to become acquainted with some of the lower level fundamentals first, not necessarily learn Assembler and/or C, but work my way through the concepts . . . I have picked up a copy of Programming From The Ground Up . . . after that, I will - indeed - teach myself the Ruby Programming Language as a first language! Regards and Happy Hacking to All, Maurice
