Thanks. I guess I oughta go with the latest and
greatest anyway, so I think I'll get .NET.

Heh, I think so too, but if Boeing is going to pay
for a nice IDE I ain't gonna pass it up! I did take
a C class back in 95 or so and that was text editor
and gcc. Haven't touched C/C++/C# since. Most of what
I do now is Perl in vi or *cough* UltraEdit *cough*.

When I signed up for the class I expected to use gcc,
vi, and *cough* UltraEdit *cough*, but again, it's not

my nickel so I'll get the nice one. Teach says we'll
be mostly doing console programs. There's a whole cert
program on windows programming. Not sure if I'm going
to pursue a cert or just take some classes. University

Extension Certs aren't worth the paper they're printed

on, are they?

PS - would homework questions be out of line here? :)
