Yeh - Right - so where are the adverts for over 60s then?
We do have core skills, we do binary, octal & hexadecimal arithmetic - sometimes in our head. We can read assembler code and disassembly listings of old forgotten code. We visualise what a line of code is actually doing in bits and bytes.
Many of us have built huge innovative systems and strangely we find the visual programming environments of today stodgy and bloated.
Communications tasks that could be achieved in couple of hundred lines of assembler now generate magabytes of code from these leggo visual environments - no wonder Vista is so sloooooooooow.
