Yeah, now that I'm on, it does have appeal.
Listened to an interview with Capn Crunch on the TWIT.TV network show Triangulation this morning. John Draper talked about the early days with direct programing and blue boxes.
As a J-school student at UT in Knoxville in the early '70s I rubbed elbows with many of the sons/daughters of scientists at Oak Ridge. They were into the programing. I knew I didn't have the patience to work on lines of code but I also knew I wanted to benefit from the results of their labor.
I wanted to be able to use the programs not create them.
It took a couple more decades but that has come to pass.
