After reading a bunch of responses on this thread, I wanted to throw in my
experiences..because it seemed kinda fun.
Jumping back to the years I was 14ish, I was messing with several Commodore
64s running Image BBS with the coolest ProgramFile (called DOORS in the pc
world) there was: Masters Empire! Most of my time was generally spent
customizing the image system, since it was quite easy to do. Anyone
remember "cursor dancing" in the messages? Using the british pound key and
some keycodes? Fun times...
Graduated to the Amiga shortly after. Wanted to stick with Commodore and I
was so AntiPC you wouldn't belive it. The Amiga is one fun fun box, but
even I will admit past desktop video and games it isn't much use.
Finally did get a PC in 92 or so and have put together more than I care to
talk about since then.
Its hard to comphrehend(?) what 14 year olds are doing these days with web
pages, networking, etc. But its all relative....thats exactly how we were
looked at around 10 years ago. At the time it was nothing to us, it was
our passion, yet everyone else was going wow..... Now, its no different,
its just us looking back on them going wow.....
I do agree, with whoever said they were 20 and felt like they were behind,
I feel behind as well. Any time thats not productive is wasted, imo,
within reason of course ;)
Now I'm 25, taking the lab inside of 3 months now, so sure I feel
behind--but any extra modivation you can get is all ammo to become better.
The bottom line is live and learn, and look out for yourself because noone
else will. :D
