I agree about the amount of information available these days. It's unbelievable. When I started out an IBM manual was worth its weight in gold almost.
Now the problem is wading through all the information. It can be overwhelming. Also experience (someone mentioned a mentor) is hard to find in books. To tap into others experience is why I come here. Oh and entertainment, too. And of course camaraderie, can't forget that.
