In the pursuit of your hobbies, you will find problems. Many of those problems can be solved (or made less onerous) through coding up a toy app. Or you can tackle the really hard problems if you want. Make a CNC lathe for wood working. Mayb

I remember the scripts we passed around so that you could hop on CServe and download all the things you cared about, read it offline, respond offline and then dial back in to sync. This was at a time when my 486-33 with its 400MB hard drive

I still use the one pay check rule for cars. If it costs more than I make in one pay check, then I can't afford it. It has been a good incentive to get better pay checks. :-)
