128 meg? Nonsense! Works fine on my laptop with 32 meg... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles H Tankersley Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 3:52 PM To: Richard Holt Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OT] RE:Unsubscribe
Well, now, this is my "several" time for joining this list, actually have been a member for a very long time (for ActiveState, anyway). I have been active somewhere since about 1992, too, and am on several mailing lists, primarily lists like slashdot, NASA, silicon, Nature, freshmeat, and even my fraternity's list. All these lists have people coming and going all the time. I am an this list more out of wanting to see what is going on then anything, since I am NOT a programmer, but like to know what places to send young wantabe programmers. Also, I may want to so a little scripting in java, perl, tcl, and python, but an not sure. Since I write and publish on my webpage, I was forced to learn html, but hate java script, would not touch visual basic with a 1,000,000,000,000,000 meter pole and use the Microsoft OS's only because I have to (MS security sucks, just had to delete a snowwhite - HAHAHAHA - virus someone sent via email that is an old one, but saw it coming right off). The one thing I find bad about being on this list is that I most likely will not find anything interesting, since activeperl requires 128 meg ram and I am running only 64 on this windows box and my linux box with the 128 meg ram is reserved for my irc server and html pages only. I do have python on this box, and it is usable, so will play with it a bit to see if I want to or can use it in my html stuff. The Perl is, however, also a language of the internet, so I want to see if I can use it, too. chtank Richard Holt wrote: >I just subscribed also to learn a bit about perl. > >I think there's lot's of newbies with time to search >during the holidays.
