I'll be 44 in a week. Started out with IBM Mainframes and the Heathkit mini's Been through punch cards & teletypes. Then the console went from a TTY 33 to a ADM3 CRT 'glass teletype.' My personal computer started out running CPM and then DOS 2.0 My first hard drive cost several hundred dollars and held 5 MB. I thought it was great that I no longer had to load Pascal from 8" disks. The internet started as an ugly cable terminating in a huge connector labelled 'ARPA.' When the internet finally caught on there was a big debate about using it for pure knowledge or commerce. Turbo Pascal, VB3, VB4, VB5, VB6, ASP and ASP.net. It keeps getting better. And MySQL is free! The things we can do today - absolutely great. Just wait and see what lies ahead. I personally like coding since I work from my home. I may stay coding a few more years. I'll see what happens. Stay current, take advantage of opportunities to upgrade your skills, invest your money wisely for your future years and enjoy life. Live long and prosper. Etc.
