maybe the PS2 counts for the younger generation, but they seem to be more computer savvy than some of us. it's amazing what they learn in school and amongst themselves.

Got out when one of the other directors decided to screw me over by demanding I learn to write code. So I gave them code for "go fuck yourselves" .

They bought me out for $50K and sold the business 18 months later for $2.3M on the same product platform and customer base as what I built for them. Now there's a new definition for "bastards".

Still friends with one of them, not the other because he said it 'wasnt personal, it was business. " At $2.3M I took it personally.

So thats my computer experience.
that really sucks man, sorry to hear that.

Was, but no longer.
I can't sit around in an office all day.
I also got sick of the stupid questions, like "do I have to use the keyboard to type?"
