Hello James -

I saw in your email 'Being a kinetic learner' and I had to look that up  - 
is there a difference between
the words 'kinetic' and 'kinesthetic'?  When I googled it, I am sure I am a 
kinetic learner also and I come
up with programming exercises for myself as well.  I am originally a C 
programmer and now I really like
Python.   I don't know what it will be like for you to learn these languages 
the other way around, I am not
the teacher-type.

And thanks to Rachel-Mikel for that really nice piece of code to save for 
the future.

Regards,

Patty
