Sounds about right to me.  I started using Applescript around 
1993-94, doing CGIs for our new WebSTAR server,, and it seems like 
the Macscript list was always part of life.  Spent three or four 
years asking stupid questions, then tried to pay back by answering 
questions from newbies.  Lately, with an overdue transition to OS X, 
I'm back to asking stupid questions.
