Will do, Marnen.  Thanks.

I'm using the trial version of TextMate.  I'm impressed, but a little 
overwhelmed with its features.

Did you mean all Ruby q's are welcome.  I'm not using Rails (yet).

One easy tech question follow.

class Node
  attr_reader :row
  def initialize(r)
    row = r
  end
end

n = Node.new(0)
puts "n = #{n}"

I expected
   n = 0
but instead, Ruby says
   n = #<Node:0x100156480>
?
