I've been relying solely on dbg for about 5 years now and so far it hasn't let me down. I've tried redbug and some others, but always come back quickly to dbg as it is ALWAYS there on the system. The only time it gets hairy is when you have lots of case statements, but that just means that you should refactor your code :) It is not every debugging tool that forces you to adhere to good programming practices!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
