i agree with you on this one, doc. actually it depends on one's programming preferences. i used to go to the computer and try to blast away and then hit a wall later not knowing what to do next. nowadays i find it better for me to think first, write down ideas/outlines then code away. i'm sure guys like orly and dido like to program straight to the keyboard or so...but to each his/her (in sacha's case!) own, i guess... _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
