I totally agree, I certainly wasn't advocating in this instance.

Speaking personally I find for large systems OOP helps, but for 
'scripts' it doesn't. Though as OOP is largely all I've ever been 
taught/used I find it easier to grasp. I struggled many months ago to 
write a small application using GTK, but given that I had little 
experience with C/C++ I found it a tough transition and found I moved my 
interest onto a line of lesser resistance before long.

Hurrah! Our December meeting is Monday the 12th; The January one is 
supposedly Tuesday 3rd, however I suspect it will end up being Monday 9th.

Good, well, I hope it's good. I don't think I have a face for your name 
but I seem to recall that you have your own business and have bags of 
experience writing Linux applications?
