Re: Comparing Collections

   Sort of off topic, like the title now    ;-)  But I'm on lots of mailing 
lists as I try to keep up to be useful to clients.  The Portland, Oregon JUG 
list is on my top five for activity and usefulness.  And one of only two 
I've found that Sun employees regularly contribute to.

No problem. I rather enjoyed it too and that was a great line!

Yeah, he told he on Twitter he didn't hate Java. I've only used Perl a few
times about 8 years ago.
Quote from Twitter:
"I don't *hate* java, I just think it's a huge waste of good resources, like
Windows. :) Better to choose more efficient paths."

Looks like Paul Graham has a bunch of essays, I'll have to start to read
some of them.

It amazes me how many "high-profile" (term used loosely :)) programmers
there are here in Oregon. Kent Beck is in southern Oregon, Randal Shwartz
and Linus Torvalds here in Portland and Joshua Marinacci (Sun JavaFX guru)
in the Eugene area.
