Nah.  Must be your accent ;-)

Ah dinnae jalouse qhuats thon ettlin eftir impunging "my accent": 'ekshully' as a bi-cultural Anglo-Scot I can give 'em the old Public school flannel as well as the Orcadian sheep farmer;

funny how the "Valley Boys" over 'there' in California, haven't recognised how vitally important either of those accents/dialects is to the future of computer programming . . . :)

I use Dictate for all my reports.  Much faster and more accurate than my 
typing, and no more aches and pains.

The rate I wibble on I would suffer from repetitive jaw syndrome . . .

Now its the *thinking* that is the bottleneck.

I could never work out what 'thinking' entailed; somehow I managed the thousands of lines of
code in my Devawriter suite of programs on instinct and coffee alone . . .

Best Wishes,

Funny; with that address you don't sound like a 'valley boy'; even though I can say some reasonably
offensive things about Milton Keynes . . .  :)

Trick Question: now that Linus Torvalds lives in California do all other programmers over there have
to go to "Finishing" school ?
