I'm 62. I fell in love with programming as an undergraduate in 1977. I had traveled across the country to attend a school (University of North Texas) renowned for their music program. Not seeing my future in music, I was fortunate that the school also had a fine computer science program. I often reflect that I know how to do two things--make music and program computers--that many view as very close to magic. And I'm grateful.
