RE: OT: Beauty of programming languages

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

David,

With a great deal of respect and admiration, I return to you a quote you once 
sent to me:

Wrangling down that attacking Rottweiler was actually not all that hard.  It 
boils down to the same grips and holds we used to employ for killing lions when 
I was young.

Sincerely,

Mark

Seriously?  My dad did all of his Theoretical Physics stuff including the 
scripts by fountain pen for probably more than 4 decades.  And he is
4 years younger than Dijkstra (if you digged up the latter).  He still does for 
his own work, though he switched to LaTeX for scripts and articles a few 
decades ago.  I don't know how many bottles of ink and blotter rolls he may 
have used up over the years...
