You know, even if some of this stuff would have been available "back in 
the day", I couldn't have bought it anyway, what with still being in 
grade school and not having any real cash to speak of. :)

Never really thought about anything like that. I was always big on 
typing things in and seeing things happen. I think I find it easier to 
wrap my head around that type of work flow. I'm the sort who could never 
quite resist tinkering with the system code and seeing what I could do 
with it. You might find it interesting how much time I spent 
disassembling things (software that is) to see how it worked.

All that said, I'm a big fan of having things like Multi-Vue available 
for the folks who like using that sort of thing.
