Its a good point. Had I have all the resources I have now I would imagine I would have made all sorts of things at that age.

Even without them I was building things like Enigma machines, games and such in QBasic.

This isn't about belittling this guys achievements, but realizing that with the free software movement and the internet in general the barrier of entry has dropped so much that stories like this are naturally going to become increasingly common.

I absolutely agree with your sentiments on the matter. When you're a child you're essentially a sponge, I wonder what teenagers like himself will be producing within the next two decades.
