[ale] Hello World - in C# - in Mono - in Ubuntu is done

[Ron Frazier]

Jeff,

Thanks for the post.  You're not the only one that's made this point.  As 
detailed in other posts, my motives for choosing C# are mainly career 
related, but also related to the attributes of the language itself.  I'm 
definitely going to have to do more research on the cross platform part though.

Sincerely,

Ron

call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy 
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
