Hey phigan!

If you're trying to get absolutely technical here, I said that a bash (or
batch) script that changes directories a few times and runs already compiled
programs, isn't programming.. and in my opinion, can't be ligitimately called
a "program," either. So, I never really wrote a program in the first place, in
order to call myself a programmer.

Therefore, your comparison is a wee bit off. Take it how you want, and if you
want to compare apples to *broccoli, that's up to you.

* Yes, I used broccoli instead of oranges to avoid you comparing the two as
both being fruit.

Regards,
Nick
