Subject: Re: The Ruby GUI debacle

James, I don't remember if the problems was with Netbeans or something
else. But I followed a video to the period and I never got it right!
I am sure that if I tried long enough, I would probably succeed. Then
again with a job and a family it is difficult to dedicate infinite
time to these tools. So I gave up and continued writing ASCII mode
scripts!
To me, Monkeybars looked perfect because it makes available the power
of swing! But, here I am, still struggling!
