Hello all,

I was wondering about the origin of vectors. Was the reason for them a 
bow to efficiency or was there some other logic behind them? 

I am curious because I am implementing the internals to a small 
list-processing language and am wondering how to keep the code (lists or 
vectors?).

L8r,
Mark G.
