You sound to be of the same vintage as myself, and the same sentiments as well.
I see little point in the investment in 'app' building when I'm fully occupied (and I do mean FULLY occupied) with software contracts that will keep me so occupied, fed and watered long into my forthcoming retirement. I would also have to persuade all our other members of staff around the world, that this was a good option (no chance).

I started in computing, by sitting at a microscope and hand punching numbers into paper tape and then writing a program to analyse the data in a language called Mercury Autcode to be run on a KDF9. Anybody remember those, way back in the 60s?
