Ok I got that, it returns apparently the same. But since it's now in a
hash I will try to iterate through the hash. Will try to play with it on
the console like you say.

Currently, I hate the Rails and Ruby API's.
I program on PHP. Whenever I needed to use some function I wasn't used
to using, everything would be easily explained in the documentation. I
looove the PHP documentation and the examples. You don't have to
interpret anything because it is stated with simplicity.
Now, the Rails and the Ruby API's, it's like I'm trying to read Greek! I
read the documentation, I think about it, I try to read it again,
nothing, NOTHING is readable. I kno, I kno, might take a while to get
used to. Still a newbie :-S
