Just felt old...I got my first computer in 1981 at the age of 11. I was the only person in the house who learned how to use it, even though it was supposed to be for the whole family.
I read every book in the school library on BASIC programming. I wrote a couple of programs on scrap peices of paper and waited for months for my mom to bring home a Commodore64. We were so excited. We were going to open the box the next day and may dad just kept shaking his head.
"But I don't understand! A computer is useless unless you *program* it. I'm afraid you boys are going to be dissapointed tomorrow!"
He just couldn't understand the fun involved. We were *not* dissapointed.
...And we have to set a timer (there is a gnome applet) to be able to close TuxPaint on my three-year-old....
I lost a "z". Anyone seen it around here?
