Google it for yourself! Who is the top of the "script o" heap?

I rest my case.

Definition of the term: somebody who wipes that self-satisfied smile from
your face by posting a script that is both simpler, more efficient - and
yet, at the same time, more cunning - than the one that you posted less than
twelve hours before.

Well, I hope you are suitably enjargonanized. You should also know that he
only uses the "o" to taunt me.

Anyhow, back to scripting - I'm crying foul because I think that we should
compare like with like.

My script is sorting the whole bloody list and then grabbing the first item.
How long would it take a vanilla AppleScript to sort the whole list? You
wouldn't need Smile to measure that - a sundial would be sufficient.

Note to self: write a shell script to do a simple selection sort on way home
- call it "script g".
