    Hi all,

    I found this a while ago (before I got into Lisp):
    http://rikkus.info/ten_commandments.html
    Entitled "The Ten Commandments for C++ Programmers"

    I thought it would be fun if some of the programmers here wrote up
    their top ten. Newer programmers would be welcome to as well. If I get
    a good enough response, I may post them somewhere on the web. Here is
    my number 1:
     
    1) Thou shalt use the Machine to accomplish those chores that are
    tedious and full of longetivity with the Macro.

    I haven't really thought of any other good ones. Let me know what you
    think. BTW, this can be humorus too, we programmers don't have to be
    serious all the time. :-P 

    -- 
May the Source be with you.
