I don't know if I completely agree with you, but I definitely understand your point. I started learning C# for no reason, just because I'm interested in programming. A year later, I never really used it much because I didn't have a reason to. Now I've moved on to Python (actually, I was going to start learning Python a while ago, but I was afraid it would interfere with learning C#). So here I am now thinking about C, but I also don't want it to interfere with Python. I like Python and want to stick with it, which is why I'm desperately looking fore exercises and puzzles so I can use it. It's just that I obessively like to learn new things, and I keep moving on to new subjects once I've 'learned' something well enough. I know Python well enough, but for no real reason, so I think I'm going to stick with it and keep using it, because it's fun. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
