Thanks, that's interesting.

I'm not that computer-literate, and I always welcome information I didn't know before.

While I'm a trained musician, everything I know on the computer is self-taught, with the help of books, friends, and videos. I've learned what I need to know, to do the things I need to do, and not much more. While my curiosity is endless, the time I can devote to things is limited. I haven't even watched TV since the first Jay Leno “Tonight” show.

I write and maintain my own websites, originally from a book, (HTML in Plain English), and later from googling, and adapting code from other websites. A computer teacher actually asked permission to use my nortonmusic.com site to teach his class how a simple website could be the best choice for the purpose my site was intended to do. I told him I keep it simple because it's for information, not entertainment.

I remember in the 8 bit days using BASIC, and that was fun. I made a simple game. But when I quit a band and started a duo, making my own backing tracks (then on a Teac A4440 reel-to-reel) there was no time to play with code anymore. BTW, I play sax, flute, wind synth, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and voice in various levels of competency/incompetency.

Instead of learning to be a coder, I learned wind synth, lead guitar, style writing for BiaB, making backing tracks for my duo from scratch, and hardest of all, how to sing with a less than stellar sounding vocal instrument (me). I can hold my own now.

Life is a learning journey. There is so much more to learn, and not nearly enough years in a lifetime to learn it all.
