7stud, please remember the mantra of this mailing list: MINASWAN.

Congratulations - it's a nice first effort.

About the formatting - sometimes 'tab' characters get eaten on
mailing lists and forums.  As a previous post mentioned, your 
editor should be able to be set so that it indents with spaces 
instead of tabs.  Or, alternately, your editor should be able to
convert tabs to spaces for you on the text before you paste it
into a post.

Regarding your question about random numbers, here's a
hint:

  puts "A number between 1000 and 1049 is: #{1000 + rand(50)}"


Regards,

Bill
