I love programming because I can create things; things that don't exist yet. For example, I used to be into eGroups alot and wanted a way to collect all the attachments. It was a bitch to do it all by hand, message per message. So I wrote a program to do it. Then found out that others wanted it, so I released it as freeware. I have/had around 4k people using it on a regular basis. NICE feeling. It was MINE, no one else asked me to make it, it was purly MY creation.

Then yahoo bought eGroups, made it suck, and now my program is useless because yahoo took away attachments unless you have them mailed to you.
