Most people know CPP macros since they know C. Unfortunate, actually. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Lab, Boulder Colorado USA One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late. -- Jack Handey
