Unfortunately, there just aren't that many Aahzes to hire (sixteen years old or otherwise), and of the non-Aahz progrommers out there it's shocking how many of them them are apparently incapable of learning a second language. Regardless of how easy something is to learn, management always wants to hire people who don't have to. -- Grant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
