I guess this is partly based on experiences with APIs that aren’t properly explained to non-geeks and inconsistent or hard to use. There is just not much fun in trying to find information bit by bit if all you want to do is write some code (unless you have the old school hacker/cracker mind and didn’t consider spending hours looking at hexdumps trying to find a way to get endless lives in a games a waste of time).</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1C4CF285-2339-4114-82BA-486E51B709A5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
