   Actually I've always found coding kinda Zen, and after I have worked out   
   the desired algorythm, I can't wait to test it out (and besides, if I   
   don't have to why should I want to risk someone else doing it Wrong?)   
   Then again sometimes coding can be downright over entertaining like   
   doing it when someone effectively dumps a bucket of parts on your desk   
   and tells you to build something, and btw there isn't a manual, you have   
   to pick it out of the loading stuff..  (which I did, and when I left   
   there WAS a manual! - courtesy of me and a bored receptionist who had   
   the time to type it all up which I didn't.)  Do I miss assembler?   
   Actually, no... :)
