   My advice? Stick with C++. Much as it makes me cringe from an
   aesthetic standpoint, I believe C++ will
   be the dominant OO language for the next decade. Definite job
   security.

   P.S. You never said what it was about C++ that frustrated you.

Furthermore, learn to program C++ on an IBM PC.  Definite job
security.  Over 25 million machines with more everyday.  It's too bad
we all have to accept the world the way it is.  Anyone want to trade
an MBA for a master's in computer science?
