Lowest. That's like you know, the lowest.

There is no beneath under lowest.

You got your basic hierarchy of low.

It begins with the word, "low" and proceeds through "lower" for an awfully long time until finally coming to an abrupt and unyielding "lowest".

So you don't get it either? You've never played a video game with levels? Or how about the geography test that was posted here recently that had levels? That's what I meant by "level" and I think that's what the article is talking about. I don't know how to explain that any more clearly. I almost feel like I'm talking to a bunch of 3-year-olds here.

Using a video game analogy and you feel like you are educating a bunch of three year olds? That is one of the funnier things you have written thusfar.

What, you've never played a video game? You must be smart!

Back when I bought an Apple II+ I bought a 16K language card boosting the total memory to 64k. I used it to learn how to program in the up-and-coming language of the future, Pascal. The Pascal version for the Apple II (licensed by UCSD) compiled to something called p-code that itself had to be interpreted into machine language. It was supposed to be faster than Basic, but I couldn't tell any difference. I wrote a program that worked with the control paddles. It was like "Pong!" but slower. Later I compiled some assembly routines that read the paddles and paddle buttons that were called from within the main program. That speeded it up considerably, IIRC.

Haven't played games much since.

That's too bad. I've had much more fun than that.
