THat said, I'm glad to see a fair number of grey bearded monks here (and even more glad that
my wife is an avid reader of cadfael novels, hence she likes my grey beard ;--)
Maybe the reason there aren't as many of us greybeards is that many of us passed through high school and college without ever having the chance to take a programming course. At my location (University of Missouri) there are a number of old farts like me who are largely self-taught, and an even larger number of younger programmers and sysadmins who grew up dreaming in (insert language of choice here). They do keep us on our toes, though. I have learned a lot from working with some of the recent graduates. Yes, and I also like the Cadfael mysteries, as does my wife. The first series of PBS Mystery! videos was pretty good, but the later series have been a little disappointing. -----
