I would be delighted to learn that my initial impression was long, because Shoes certainly looks neat. Tkl appears to be the other end of the spectrum. Everybody "used to use it." Some of the best books appear to be 10 years old -- a remarkable thing if true. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
