Yeah, I hear you. But I guess it depends on the disposition of the person as well. I was a computer hobbyist before I entered the workforce, first as a hardware engineer, later transitioning into software. Throughout my career I kept on tinkering with hobby side projects, folding many of them back into my professional work. Of course to the untrained eye it appeared that I was merely a workaholic doing 12 to 14-hour days for 30 years. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
