RE: Slightly OT: Lighten things up a little

[Olive, Christopher M Mr USACHPPM]

echoing this thread to CF-community, as seth so rightly pointed out.

jake, that's exactly what i'm talking about.  the professors may have gotten
their degrees in the 80s/70s.  however, the principles underlying the array,
structure, and loop have NOT changed since then.  i would venture to say
that they have not changed in quite a while.  it is when we learn the
theory, not the application, that we can really raise the ceiling of our
programming skills.
