I suppose there is some truth in that. But 8 year old me hardly knew the value of a dollar except how much sugar could be had in exchange. But that didn't stop me from spending every waking hour trying to get my Vic-20 to auto-generate dungeon mazes. From running to the shop on the 1st of every month to pick up the latest programming magazines, then running back home to copy the arcane characters one by one into that Vic-20 in the hopes that the mysterious incantation would run. I count myself lucky to have learned to program before "growing up". An especially before the internet. Sorry if I never really got to the point. Just wanted to say that I was in a rush - but of a different sort back then.
