It doesn't mean they don't know how to drive. Parallel parking isn't realy fundamental part of driving. A better analogy could be manual/automatic gear cars - some people never drove manual one in a lifetime. And they are successful drivers, though with a limited expertise. But being in Europe, where 80% cars are with manual gear (ala having to write something in XSLT) they can feel some pain. -- Oleg Tkachenko http://blog.tkachenko.com Multiconn Technologies, Israel
