RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

I don't know, Jeff. After seeing the kindler/gentler you in action in that "urgent" thread that the OP never came back to, I'd say it's time for you to hang up the pork chops.

Heh... after that coffee-deprived trip into never-never-land, I'm thinking it's time to put new bands on the launcher.

Jeff, I thought maybe Lynn was using The Force on you to fill in for him while he was on vacation. Sort of a long-distance Jedi mind trick?

Nah... I wear a grounded tin hat while I'm posting. 😛 I just plugged it into a wall outlet by mistake that day. 😛

Where'd you get the hat? I have to make do with a colander reinforced with tin foil.

Heh... it was actually a large tin plate that I used for a target for pork chop hurling practice. When I took it down, it had this huge impact crater (I got really good at it) that just happened to fit my head. If I unground it while I'm wearing it, I can pick up short wave. 😛

Hey! I gotta say it again, really well done on that newbie thing! I can't wait for the article on it. That's a very definite keeper, Barry.

I think we'd like pictures from both you and Jeff. If you're worried about the EM waves, take an old fashioned Polariod, mail it to me and I'll scan it in 🙂
