Programming by definition is the process of automating repetitive actions to reduce the human effort required to perform them. A good programmer faced with a hard problem always looks for ways to make his|her job easier by delegating work to a computer. That's what Larry means. Automation is MUCH more effective than repetition. -- Dan www.prairienet.org/~dsb/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
