"basically everything I write programs for is mainly about I/O..."
It's funny how people always seem to think that, but if you look at what they're really doing, I/O is usually the least of their worries. Programming GUIs is about the only reasonably common I/O-related task that has any sort of complexity. Most everything else is reading or writing streams of bytes; the hard part is what happens between the reading and the writing. Steve Schafer Fenestra Technologies Corp. http://www.fenestra.com/
