I have been explained long long  ago how sensible a thing it was to 
program in C on a Unix system, as the whole operating system is
already written in C.
That being said, if somebody owns a PC (IBM clone type ) why would
he want to program in C at all?????  I must be missing something
here!!!!
ALSO:  I am asking the people in the other parts of this country:
Is C something used a lot (not just in california I hope) or is it
just another fad language that will be completely gone two years 
from now.....
I am pretty ignorant as you can see, and would appreciate any
sparks of light.
