Still, I wasn't entirely kidding. There's a lot of things about Mrs. Hopper that strongly resonate with me. Putting things into real perspective, being down to earth about everything. Not entirely unlike Hickey, really. Still, she made COBOL. I like Grace Hopper a lot better than I like COBOL. For me, this soft of serves as a counter argument to the idea that sharing values with a fellow creator would imply that I like that person's creations.

Note: I rather much agree with you, Hickey rocks, and the attitude he's broadcasting is very refreshing in today's code ninja heat.
