  sad indeed.  i hope things will improve somehow.

  i love the early apples and Macs are way up there in
what i'm after in terms of flavor and texture.  i also
only really like the first pressing of apple cider.

  it takes a few years to get decent in any language IMO and
i still have a long ways to go, but at least i have picked 
up some of the concepts recently that were eluding me before.
i'll keep poking at it, maybe by the time i'm 70 i'll have a 
clue or two.

  i never got into perl as i'm an old time awk and sed and
other unix tools type paster togetherer in bash scripts.  
almost all the things i'd written in quite a long time were 
mostly done in bash.  anything that didn't work well in that
i did in C instead.

  the overall lack of enthusiasms for anything much in the way 
of programming was the desire to avoid sitting at some desk job 
for too long and i managed to avoid that by doing a part-time 
librarian job instead.  part-time gardener fits very nicely now 
instead.

  those are pretty amazing little gadgets.  i've never
had one in my hands to even look at it let alone do any
work with one.  i hope it went ok!  :)
