Re: IO

I am not adverse to learning C. I know a little bit, and know several languages based on C, so syntax is basically what I need to learn. I didn't want to use C, though, because I am a better Java programer. Also, I wanted the end program to be as platform independent as possible. The more I think about it, I think I will just use external power.

I used a flash drive to store and run the OS. That way, it can be banged around and moved without having to worry about moving disks. I think Puppy should be fine. It doesn't have a high overhead and I know it will run Java.
