Just out of interest (and partly to encourage / discourage me) how long does it take before C syntax becomes second nature. What I mean by this is that I have problems getting my ideas into a program 'cos the syntax gets in the way. It's difficult to get things to flow when you have to keep looking back at old source to remember where you put the #defines or {}'s or ;'s last time!
I've been programming in C for 20 years and it's still a problem (only kidding, it's been around 6 months, but not solidly).
