I'm sorry, I guess I should have worded it differently. I certainly knew that
alot of characters were just written out, no death, but I only meant to point
out that alot of the characters died.

I thought for Virginia Hume that Lynda said something on the lines of we don't
think she can, you know... So I just figured that she meant pull through. I'm
sorry if I assumed once again. As for Mary Brien, her death seemed to affect
Spike only to make him realize his feelings for Lynda. During later episodes
it almost feels that the reason for his declaring his love is lost, and all
that's left is his need to declare it. Her death didn't change his character
that much I think (forgive me if you think I err again) because after a few
episodes, after he found out that Lynda loved him, he just went about being
Spike, and forgetting the lesson Mary Brien's death taught him.

	THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #16: C-

This language was named for the grade received by its creator when he
submitted it as a class project in a graduate programming class.  C- is best
described as a "low-level" programming language.  In fact, the language
generally requires more C- statements than machine-code statements to
execute a given task.  In this respect, it is very similar to COBOL.
