I am 3 bytes years old => 3* 8 bits => 24 years. I wrote the first program in C 5 years ago at the University of Malawi. Before then, I had never touched a computer (typical of an African child :-) ). I should confess that C remains my favourite language to the extent that sometimes I find myself writing C-like Ruby code :-). I used to love MS tools, but I am "nixed" (= christened into Linux Faith), though I can still dance to MS tunes when they are talking in C language. > > --- > Edmond > Software Developer | Baobab Health Trust (http://www.baobabhealth.org/) | > Malawi > > Cell: +265 999 465 137 | +265 881 234 717 > > *"Leading the Improvement of Health through Information and Communication > Technology in the Developing World" The **Creed* of *Baobab Health > * > > > > On 12 October 2010 15:51, Walter Lee Davis <wa...@wdstudio.com> wrote: > >> I'm 46.
