thanks for the replies... what i meant by cd jukebox...i meant that i like to rip all my cds to my comp and use it as a jukebox. itunes is good. media player 11 is good. but, no frills is okay with me. this is one of the main things i use my computer for.
as for the pics. what i meant is that i would just like to be able to pull pics off a digital camera and store them and be able to send them in email...don't even need to edit them at all. and, of course, in taking a look at plan 9 i was lead to inferno. haven't been able to figure out what, exactly, inferno is. is it just a plan 9 variant that's being marketed by vita nuova? i've read many documents regarding plan 9 (such as security and the first 20 or so pages of the manual) and a handful regarding inferno and i have yet to put my finger on what makes inferno different from plan 9. i used to program in pascal in the mid-90's. i wrote a game called "toxi city" for the mac. the two things i learned from that experience were collision detection and object movement. the last time i wrote a program was when i got a c on my ADA test that i wrote completely in pascal 'cause i was too busy getting smashed to even investigate the subtle differences...or learn the major differences. global variables and a semicolon. one of my friends was involved in a handful of playstation 2 projects along with writing an arcade game...she's been trying to talk me back into the coding lifestyle. so, is Limbo a good place to start?...she says C...but, she also says that someone needs to write a new language so that people who are capable of logic and reason aren't so frustrated. thanks all!
