For those of you who know the "traditional" languages, the rest of us 
can only wish.  It took a year to decide whether to migrate to MC or 
take the plunge and learn C.  Learning a "traditional" language would 
easily set me back two years, and I don't know about you guys, but 
the two days a week I'm forced to work at a job I despise, while I'm 
working like hell to build my company, isn't something I want to have 
to do another two years to add a backup to the toolbox.  I'm hoping 
to have the option to go full time with my company in 2004, and blow 
those buggers off.  Being a * serious * programmer has nothing to do 
with it.  I work 7 days a week most weeks.  And am very determined.

I envy those of you who are 35 and under, who at least had computer 
access as a teenager.  I am 40+++++.  In school, we had manual 
typewriters, not electronic, not electric, but MANUAL.  Computers 
were something that existed for IBM and the big companies.  Nobody I 
knew had one at home.  I never even saw one until I was in my late 
twenties/early thirties, and then it was a DOS computer at a store. 
Didn't impress me.  Looked like a glorified word processor, so I 
never bothered to dig deeper.  I got a very very late start at this, 
so time to me is a big issue.  That's why I get so tweaky at anything 
that sucks time away.  I don't know a traditional language, I taught 
myself via Hypercard to program.  C is gobbledygook to me.

And my primary goal is Gypsy King Software.  It isn't a hobby.  It is 
my company.  My heart and soul :-)

So beware what criteria you use to define a * serious programmer *.
