Looks like we old farts all have something in common! Big Grin | :-D

I still remember the day in '92 I decided I'd learn Windows instead of MacOS.  I had 2 books in front of me - Petzold's Programming Windows 3.1 and a couple of Mac programming manuals.  After a brief read, I decided to go with Windows.  Owning a PC helped.  I haven't looked back since.  I continue to have a lot of respect for Apple's software and UX - I just don't program for it.

Have once again started to feel the rush as I delve into Android (using C# as a development platform). Cool | :cool:
