It seems like there's too much in the way these days. You can't just fire up your BASIC editor (or whatever it was - I had hypercard and logowriter) and hack together a neat little program like you used to be able to. And even if you did, so what? Who are you going to show it to? Half the fun for me was showing what I'd done to my friends.
This is so true. To be quite honest, this is why I was so fascinated with Visual Basic when it first came out. It was so easy to create a GUI. For all of its warts, VB was exciting to a kid (on Windows 3.1 anyway). Luckily I had friends who thought my improved version of the copy command written in C was cool too :-). -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
