      I do find the 'who's been
      

      using computers longer?' competitions that
        seem to be ensuing on all
        

        sorts of lists lately a bit tiresome :)
        

      Why tiresome?  It is a bit interesting.  Way better than some of
      the vitriol showing up on the lists.  I remember programming a
      RemRand steel drum memory computer using a teletype and punched
      paper tape.  I also remember seeing a U-2 in use running a single
      application (civilian payroll) at a Navy facility.
      

      None used Fedora.
      

    Yes,it great to find not everyone here is a
      "Johny-Come-Lately"!
    :-)

    
    Some people start programming young these days!  I'm coaching an 11
    year old in Java, he has his own Linux box.  He got into Java by
    himself when he was 10, despite neither of his parents being in IT. 
    His mother is a friend of my wife's, and he suddenly phoned up in
    February asking if I could help him.  I have introduced him to
    PostgreSQL & SQL, and later I think I will also get him into C
    and other languages.  I was 18 before I had a chance to write
    programs - I think he will better than I ever was, before he is 18!

    
    Cheers,

    Gavin
