One question and I'm out of here again.
How does a persons age have ANYTHING to do with IT experience?
Make that two questions.
How does playing on a C64 (which does not have anything to do with UNIX)
count as IT experience and/or UNIX experience?
I can also count as not having any IT experience when I started 11 years ago.
My parents gave me an old 286 which I had DOS on at first. Within 6 months I
was looking for a better system and found Mark Williams Co.s' Coherent and
have not looked back since. I belive general ablitity has alot more to do
with it than IT experience. If you want something and try, you can do it,
period.
