And to think I was teh only disgruntled NJB owner *g*, Yeah verily have you summed up Cre*tive's blunderful tr*sh toy. It's not what it used to be, at all!
Good luck to the iPod, I'll read the user's reviews in a month's time before I rip it to pieces on hearsay...
Sure, there's a lot of us top-twenties yo people out there that can cuss and scream about it all.
Sure we grew up with COCO-8's and System 80's. Some of us even had our very own TSR-80 system.
(Quick Note...
1. My Nana saw radio invented.
2. My Dad saw TV invented but took radio for granted.
3. I took TV for granted adn saw the evolution of the Internet.
4. What will my kids see?)
Remember that we are older, have an education that reflects this and we can appreciate how the Internet has grown from FidoNET BBS's and 300bps modems. Some of us even have jobs that reflect this.
I believe that our advantage is age adn experience. There's only two options for the up-and-coming kids of the next generation adn that is to teach them or manage them because I'm sure that we're not going to be able to whip them at Pac-Man or Asteroids when Anarchy-Online and Everquest are the standard games of today.
It's evolution and remember that they will feel the same as we do when the next generation grow up behind them. (see Quick Note above)
I work for a SOTA, market leading, electronic broking firm. Over the years, I have seen it grow from twenty people to two hundred. Many of the people here I only know as their name floats across my desk for logins and security details.
Once, we were a 'maverick' company, a group of rogues going to change the way the world did business. Now we are a brand name, advertised, market leader in the field and everyone in the field wants a part of us.
I woke up one morning at my desk, sitting in front of a SOTA machine and realised that somewhere, somehow, I had sold out to Mr Johnson. I didn't see it, I didn't feel it, it just happened.
Mr Johnson scores 1.
There are people out there who will recognise good, quality workers and employ them. Some people are bleding-edge companies, some are organised teenagers whipping out new-view S/W, most are people who know a little more than the next guy (or client).
There are others who don't understand science (for whatever reason) and others who don't comprehend the flow of the world. These are the companies that you don't want to work for. They will be eaten by people like my friend, Mr Johnson, a faceless, generic individual with a blank cheque and two large goons either side of him.
"World domination goes best with Coke" was a logo on a T-shirt I saw.
You better believe it, Doc-Wagon, Security blocks, hired protection and dodgey shadow runners. It's here, it's now, let's just wait for the sun to go out...
