Even if you stay in the game, technology changes - so one has to keep
learning and adapting.

When I started mighty MainFrames roamed the planet - now a low end smart
phone has over a thousand times more memory & processing power, than the
first MainFrame (ICL 4/72) I ever programmed in COBOL . Now I use Java
& other newer languages on a Linux box with a processor chip with more
cache than any MainFrame's main memory that I ever programmed.

I don't think that is too much of a problem, haven't seen anyone tell
you to RTFM!!!

It is normal on this list not to top post, but rather to add comments at
the end (so people can see the context) - though interspersed comments
in the body of the text is okay when appropriate!

Cheers,
Gavin
