At one time I was a pretty good programmer. And I've taught programming for several Universities and Junior Colleges. But as you get older and move up the management chain, you lose the touch, the drive, and just plain can't keep up with the changes to remain proficient.
I detest "C" and "C++" and haven't had a change to fiddle with any flavor of Java. I have taken VB and VBA on and find I actually like it a lot.
