With all do respect Gentlemen



Or perhaps I should say Ladies and Gentlemen

I am grateful for the help you have given me today and yesterday, but I have
always been told that the only stupid question is the one you don?t ask.

Please indulge me for a minute and continue reading.

I started writing Assembler on punch cards in 1964 to mainframes, then
FORTRAN on punch cards to main frames, next circa 1980 I started
programming on my Sinclair ZX80 in BASIC and machine code. Circa 1984 I
started programming on my first IBM PC
BASIC

As time went on Pascal, dBase, FoxPro, (yes they both had languages as well
as database) clipper (the version was called summer of 86) and then when
Windows and the internet came around Delphi.

I have made a living as a contract programmer for the last 22 years.

I taught myself every language I know I had to because I?m dyslexic and can
not learn like ?Normal Folks?

While I was using Clipper I used to help out on lots of newsgroups and I
never told anyone.
?Your questions fall into the DUH!!! category.?
?Your question(s) are pretty much an FAQ in the WYSIFA Forums.?
?Before I tried to program anything in php, I read the manual.?
?I know you are just learning and starting out, but this was rather basic.?
?What a cleverly selected Subject:!?

My questions are probably stupid ? at least to all you ?Experts?
But you know what? Real quick this all will click in my dyslexic little
mind and then we?ll see who?s the export
