Not sad. Actually I am much happier now than back in the day, when I would spend weeks at a time on a 16 hour a day coding jag.

I could get very comfortable doing all the Unix/linux command line stuff again, as I was in 1975 when I wrote the first full screen editor for Unix. Before your time, no doubt.

It's just that there are only so many hours in the day, and at this point in my life I have other priorities for them than climbing the learning curve and hacking around in yet another system environment, even one I knew in its original incarnation.

It's already taken more hours than it should have to get my N810 to realize its current fraction of its potential. (And I hope that gets the conversation back on substance.)
