I agree -- I think  "go to"s have their place, and while it's true that
it's easy to write spaghetti code with them it's also pretty easy not to
(you just have to think about what you're doing and plan ahead a little --
oh, wait a minute, maybe that's not so easy! ;-)

Ok, I'm 52 and have been programming for 22 years (9 on AS/400, 3
seriously). Before that I drove a truck -- the way I see it, I'm still
figuring out the best way to move things around. . . . (and I've never had
to crawl under a computer in the cold rain to fix anything :-)
