Summary: different strokes for different folks

I am in agreement on the desirability of knowing more than one
language. Pity the poor person (me, sometimes) who uses, teaches,
and consults on a Mac, IBM-PC and friends, and a VAX, in Pascal,
Basic, Fortran or Prolog (not to mention various applications) in
any one day--and I am considered a traitor (!?) in all those worlds.

Remember, when those Fortran only types bug you--in the land of the
blind, the one-eyed man is king.
