I have to admit I do get irritated, I do swear and curse while programming ... if I'm forced to write in C# or VB. Especialy if I know how simple would that task be if I were using Perl. It's kinda OK now with VB since I'm somewhat used to it and I know the limitations. So it is like running with your legs tied, but at least you can see where are you going. While C# feels like I was trying to run with my arms tied and my eyes blinfolded. I just keep hitting concrete walls unexpectedly.

Apropos ... I guess you are right about the virus. I'm so used to watch the details looking for books that I've started noticing spelling mistakes in books and webpages which is something I've never used to do before. (Before someone points out a spelling mistake in this post. English is not my native, I'm talking (mostly) about books in Czech.) And the "bugs" are rather annoying to me. I almost started "fixing" the book I read during today's flight to Chicago. :-} It just felt awkward.

I guess I should take a few years break ;-)
