Age !

I believe you are either computer literate - or you are not. You are technically proficient - or you are not
.... and age has very little to do with it .... but experience and practice has everything to do with it -
together with a desire for knowledge of your chosen subject. I know that I know more about computers this year
than I did last year, and I knew more last year than the year before. But age, other than the fact that I was
a year older, had nothing to do with it. Maybe the over 60's who ask for help, came to computing late in life
- give them time. Or maybe they are not too proud to ask when they don't know - instead of bungling along in
ignorance. As Swede says, "...you learn from mistakes". But not necessarily age (which doesn’t guarantee wisdom
by the way) - only practice, practice and more practice.

Ho, and why does apollo wonder who the people in the above 60 group are? We are quite normal !!!

Now I think I will rest my one remaining brain cell .... This is getting far too deep!

Good night all,

(67)

p.s. Thank you hpman77
