Thanks so much, Kevin and John, for your patience with this self 
proclaimed member of the "newbie ignoramus" species :^D

I am very glad I decided to immerse myself in this daunting language, 
C++, which is most likely the most complex programming language ever 
devised. I had been avoiding it for years.

The availability of Boost has been a main factor in my decision to 
program in C++ from now on.

Best regards,

-Ramon
