I never had such problems: I had a ZX Spectrum before I learnt algebra. (In fact it's only just occurred to me (since reading this post) that a variable's variability could be considered weird coming at it from an algebra point of view.) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
