Thank you Sir…. Yes, I guess we are in the same time zone or thereabouts. I remember seeing one of the supervisors walking around a construction site with a “swinging brick” (one of the first Motorola mobile phones, that weighed about the same as a pickup battery!), and we all laughed, and I said, well, that’ll never catch on! Umm, hindsight eh? Oh, must have been back in 1980something or other..!
But I do envy those who know what it all means, this programming m’larky. You know, I can build you a house, top to bottom. I can plumb, wire, lay bricks, tile, dry wall, lay solid wood flooring etc etc, and it will be the best job you have ever seen, honestly. On top of which, I am an accomplished artist, I also play the sax, sing, am well travelled, articulate, have given after dinner speeches, lectured…………. Blah blah… however, bloody computers confuse and annoy the heck out of me!
No, I take my hat off to those who know their way around them. When it comes to such things, unfortunately, I am but a mere user. Albeit, a grateful one.
