That is not what I meant.

Your post is sarcastic and belittling. mixmax's post is curious and intriguing.

When I said "just for giggles", I said it with curiosity in mind, not sarcasm.

> "I'm too tired/busy."

I hope you feel better.

Hey, I am definitely tired, but 'belittling'? Not at all what I was aiming for, sorry if you perceived it that way. It was just a random comment about the fact that people's 'computer age' might be determined by what sort of environment they started out with.

Oops.

Sorry, then. I take back what I said earlier. Your first choice of 'abacus' sounded sarcastic to me. I guess I shouldn't judge so quickly.

In that sense, I think the idea of how someone got started in programming is an excellent poll topic.

EDIT: I was not trying to imply anything when I said "I hope you feel better". Please don't take it the wrong way.
