    Merry Christmas Mario!
    Well, everyone!

    Looks to be a good year next year: PS3, loads of great games, Ada 2005 coming to .NET, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I've forgotten. Meh.
    Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.

    What does "Nollaig Shona Dhuit" mean? That's what my link says it is in Irish.

    That means "Happy Christmas to you" (singular), mine said the same, but in plural - Happy Christmas to you all.

    Merry xmas and a happy new year to all on Cboard. I hope 2007 delivers all 2006 promised to deliver in the way of coding! ( sorry, really bad pun )

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main ( void )
    {
       cout << "H A P P Y  X M A S!\n";
    
       cin.get();
    
       return 0;
    }
    How sad am I, wait, dont answer that one I already know..
