>I play guitar (blues and folk) for 16 years now.

What type of guitar(s)/amp do you use?

>Programming is an artistic job : give an application to do to two programmer, you'll get two different (: proof that programmation is creation so art).

Ah! So true Frederic. And like music, a program is an art form whose medium is time: what is expressed when and in order as well as what it not expressed in time. A painter may break for lunch mid-portrait and return to work on some other other portion, and once completed and exibited, examine the canvas from any point or all at once. A piece of music can't be heard all at once. I guess that could cause a syntax error! :-)

>>Here is something I am interested in. How many programmers play a musical instrument? I have worked with many who do - and in the last ten years I would say that about 90 % of those who do not have degrees in computer science, play an instrument. Those with degrees in computer science seem to be able to play the keyboard (computer). That comment may start a beef!

I played flamenco professionally until I married and found out I had to get "a Real Job". I still play flamenco guitar for dancers and singers from Spain and the United States.
