" NO OFFENSE, but you must be young"

No offense taken :-). I am young, and a n00b when it comes to how long I've been into computers(3 years). The combination of being fascinated by computers, and being driven has lead me to a couple of certifications, and a good job in the field. :-)

Still, so much to learn......

That's why I got into computers, the learning never stops, and you can't ever learn it all!

Being young isn't necessarily a bad thing in the computer field. I just do my own work (photofinishing, web site design) on my own computer, now, but when I worked for a large entity, networking was handled by guys with mainframe backgrounds. They were big into the "we're wizards, submit your requests, and in a couple of months we'll tell you it's not possible" mode. Their primary concern was defending mainframe turf.

A lot of the mainframe guys had to get shoved out the door before we made much progress in connectivity and usability. Things change so quickly that history is interesting, but it's still history.
