I did, old-timer. Albeit a Commodore 64. Young punk. One of the first things that my first computer teacher (in high school) said was that computers were so expensive, no one person could hope to own one. That was a bit of hyperbole even then, but pretty close for the typical person. I used to spend my allowance money on computer time at UBC to use their mainframe. That was in the mid-'70s. (I still remember their announcement about them doubling the memory on their mainframe from four to eight *megabytes*.)

RE: [NF] New shiny thing...
Ha! I hear ya Stephen! I didn't get my hands on a computer until 17 - when my high school offered the very 1st course ever - mainly on an Apple II - a course in BASIC. I'm surely jealous of the kids today - who have Easy access to computers - and can start computing at a Super Young age. I actually taught my son Binary & Hex numbers, and doing math in those number systems - back when he was about 7 or 8. And, I think it was about a year ago I was trying to show him how to program in Basic - as I found a real Simple type of Basic I could install on my laptop. Maybe it was called Simple BASIC - I forget. It's still on the laptop - but, I just can't play with it now at work. I wish I could have gotten my son more interested in programming - and at least dabbling in it. Although - he's already taken SEVERAL Classes - in these summer ID Tech camps - I believe in like JavaScript - I think. And, some other classes on weekends - I think at a local college - classes for gifted kids - and I think he may have been doing some Java, some HTML and maybe a little bit of CSS - or something like that. And, that was about a year ago or so. FYI - he will be turning 14 this coming July 11th. And - I just saw the video - at least the beginning. The woman interviewer sure is kinda hot! But, the Kid - Dang - smart young kid - can believe he is actually a "Professional" Developer already at the age of 15 - and is juggling MULTIPLE Projects! Jeepers - does the kid NOT attend school??? I didn't finish watching the video - but, I will - and I may have already answered my own question once I watch the rest... -K- -Original Message- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Stephen Russell Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2015 3:55 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: [NF] New shiny thing... 15 year old kid who is coding.
