I am pretty sure I was a teenager once in land faraway and time long forgotten.
I still haven't actually grown up, I just got older.
1982 I bought my first computer, Commodore 64 .. no disk drive just a few magazines with basic code in them spend 2 to 3 hours typing in the code and debugging your typos and the run the game till your eyes started to bleed on to your desk. I lovingly refer to this as the amoeba mode. I was hooked on basic, and then thought I wanted to learn Assembly, ( I started all this at the tender age of 30 ) I write a lot of vba for my job, not that they pay me for it, but it makes my life easier. I have been learning VB6 the hard way, read a little write a little kinda like the old days typing code in from a mag doesn't seem like the way to learn basic .. but I did I aced my first basic language class in community college. Have I made any money a little, very little but I still love to program. I do envy all of you that had the chance to polish your coding skills at such a young age, it simply means you will have a lot more time to figure out that killer piece of code that will make you the next Bill and if you do. spend some of the money and get a decent doo, Bill you really need to do something with your hair man.
