Indeed, I completely agree with the GreatBunzinni. The original statement is misleading or unnessary as he pointed out. Perhaps perl is easier to learn for most people, the school system seems to think that Java is a great starting language. I tend to disagree, back in the day I tried teaching myself Java 1.1 and the farthest I got were animated applets. When I took up PASCAL, I had a much easier time, had more fun, and developed a bunch of silly games & apps (it all fit on a single floppy disk & anywhere with a PC I coded). The smallish games that I coded still had a plethora of functions and needed a certain amount of design. HelloWorld in a cool looking font isn't a game.
I went to a LAN party that forbid console systems. Smash Bros. Melee will not be denied! I stuck the entire unit above my power supply, had the power cord shoot out an empty extension slot in the back and the controller cables came out the front (power button was permanently set to on). It would have been way better if all wave birds were used, but the length of cable was acceptable. The only problem I noticed that whenever the unit was on, I couldn't change the state of my computer or risk the system crashing. It was a small, weird inconvenience.
