Yep, you've done things the right way so far. I missed the step over to C++ and
sidestepped to writing requirements. Wrong move, but the job market's picking up
there again. Pick up PERL while you're at it. For some reason, that's hot now.

If you want to know God's opinion of money, just look at the people
he gives it to.

I worked at MIT Lincoln Laboratory a long time ago. It was strongly
oriented toward hardware devices, circuits, radars, etc. Software
engineers were second class citizens. My boss used to snarl, "If you
can program a computer, you'll never have to work for a living."
