how many programmers does it take to write hello world?
one... but then you need the windows ports which include ME XP 95 98 3.1 3.11 for workgroups etc, the linux ports [insert list of linux oriented os's here...], the java version, the C# version, the basic version [any from GW to visual...]... not to mention that every other programmer for each port would say that they could do it better / faster / more efficient...
yeah yeah, you've all heard this joke in some form or the other some other time... but anyway...
