I'm 42, been using a computer since the first CP/M 8080 computers first came out in about the early 80's.

I'm 31. My first computer was an HP 85/A -- 1977.

Two hours and a thousand bucks is about all I can manage without getting totally bored out of my mind :))

If you can do in two hours what it takes me all day to do, then experience is obviously good for something.

When we're younger, we have one track minds, when we're older I think we are better able to multi-task. I read 5 or 6 books simultaneously now - any one book would bore me. Maybe its a clinical condition, maybe there's something wrong with me. Maybe I'm just plain burnt out :))) Who knows?

I am going the other way. When I was in college, I could multi-task like that. I now prefer to concentrate meticulously on one or two things and perfect them as best I can. I've been burnt out twice. Feel like J.F. Sebastian...
