An excuse you say ?... It is a reason I would need.. I use allegro and
see absoloutly no reason to find out how something works when allegro
does it for me..

If you use fprint...do you then go and learn how the computer works
that out to putting text on the screen... surely everyone is using
shortcuts but to varying degrees.. just because you know a little more
than the bloke next door doesnt mean you have to instantly become a
smart-arse telling everyone else to learn,

Why do you think everyone in the world should think like you ?,
How about the fact that I am not very well educated through no fault
of my own, i am not even very litterrate, have you ANY idea how hard
it was for me to learn allegro? Yet I get praised for the games i
make,
Ho and believe me, the people playing my games dont give a flying
monkeys what language i use or how much i know :)
