Evidently some countries are having a shortage of @ signs. Because
this symbol does not appear on the keyboards in some countries, they
have no easy way to generate them to replenish their stock.

Here is a strip that you can FREE-ly use to cut, paste, copy, etc. to
replenish your stock pile. There is no charge of course.

Just as it is not good to use all of the "starter" for sour-dough bread
making, we recommend that if you run low, you fill your storage area
with extra signs in case you have a dramitic increase in demand.

We are working to try to get the ANSI C++ Standards Committee to put
the @ back into C++. If that occurs there could be a run on your supply
so make sure that you are prepared.

If the committee should ever make any decision based on your recommendations,
I'm back to Pascal. Delphi. Icon. ANYTHING other than something your grubby
little hands have been in.

(And to think, I used to live and work not ten miles from your Unir Corporation
building in Naperville... Let me give you a piece of advice, Mr. Fleming. There
is a small, growing company called Tangible Vision, Inc, in Downer's Grove.
If you want to meet some professional, high-quality programmers and people,
you give them a call. I can think of no better people on this Earth to
emulate in the software industry.)

Here's a challenge for you: Why not post a copy of your C+0 (since the @ is
removed from C++, I took it off of my keyboard) to an FTP site and let us,
your target audience, take a look at it? I'd like to evaluate it fairly and
judge its merits--I think everyone would agree that language development is
a dynamic process and languages are "born" and "die" as the technology
improves and advances.... But I think that the languages generally reach their
time in the sun based on honest evaluations of their usefulness. C++ did not
reach its astounding success based solely on the strength of AT&T or Dr.
Stroustrup. And your C+0 will not achieve any success based on the strength
of your vilification of C++.

Get a clue, Mr. Fleming.
