Well-put, Kurt.
I like to say that many people who say they like writing, actually
like having written. I think the same is true of programming: many
people who say they enjoy programming really enjoy the end result,
not the process, which can indeed be sticky and messy at times.

Some thoughts:
I have to admit that when I am knocking my head against the wall
trying to determine why the [EMAIL PROTECTED]&* THING WON'T WORK, I'm not the
happiest camper.....especially when I discover that the problem
lies with a misspelled variable (or something along those lines)!
At the same time, it is thrilling to have something work the way
you expect, to have a problem solved, to create an application that
fulfills its need precisely- all the more so when the need is very
specific and nothing else is available which exactly fits the bill.
Transcript also allows the person with a non-higher-math background
(such as myself) to work with many math functions in a more verbose
manner, so that I can at least code the clock face "in 100
lines" (vs. the Math Whiz's 13, or whatever), and BOTH scripts work.
