Apollo: Yes, we could have to wait for Wind, like we are waiting for GMST. I can wait so long as I can reassure myself that the wait will be worth it. lurqer: I appreciate both your praise and your response because I believe that you know what you are talking about from personal experience when you describe the esthetics and psychology of software coding. Whereas, I lack genuine hands-on experience with software coding, and must content myself with floating on the clouds of abstraction. The true master knows both the ethereal sky and the earthy feeling of hands made dirty by useful work. So, I am a great pretender in the high tech world. I know there is hope for old duffers because I am one. As I grow older, I hope to become an old codger, which is for me a bit wiser than a duffer. Different talents appear at different stages of life. Mathematical talent is expressed earlier than most. I like to imagine that as a psychologist, theorist, philosopher of the softer side of man that I may become wiser. Of course, I have been waiting a long time just to grow up, and I am not sure I have yet made it. When I was a child I thought as a child. When I became a man, I thought life would become simpler and I would be a master of my ship. Unfortunately, the wind and the waves did not always agree with my idealization of adulthood. Now I am waiting for the time when I am master of myself, and still hoping to disprove all of the canards about seniors. Because I have not grown up, perhaps, it will prove easier to hold onto the playfulness and wonder of the child. Perhaps, I will just be who I am without needing the illusions of who I might become. lurqer, I know that you know whereof you speak when you speak software. It rings true. And, the Internet is noted for being a place where you can be any age, assume any identity that you choose. So, you have the choice of enjoying both math and music at any age that suits your fancy.
