Linus Thorvalds (who wrote Linux) didn't know a thing about assebly: started writing a routine that printet 'A' on the screen, then a routine that printet 'B' (basically the same routine of course) and then he made a thingy that variated between the two routines producing 'ABAABAABBA'. -- * Frode Tennebo * It's better to live life in * * email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * wealth and die poor, than live * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * life in poverty and die rich. * * snail: Parkv. 31, 6400 Molde, NORWAY * -Frode Tennebo*
