Greetings,
I was browsing around in the xgamestation forums today and there is an
interesting thread about some guys kids who are getting hooked on Apple //
programming... he mentions, perhaps for the sake of accomplishment in light
of Windows, where there's little left to accomplish.

That does my heart good!
It's great to see how wise kids are about what's worthwhile (and
fun).
Somebody has to find a way to lower the "barrier to understanding"
as hardware becomes just an epoxy blob behind a keyboard, monitor,
mouse, and network connector--and software has already become an
impenetrable galaxy of millions of lines of sloppy code. (As has
hardware, come to think of it, with fewer lines and less "sloppy".)
