Amen to this. I wrote my first computer battleship game at the age of 6 on a TI-99/4a and that computer is still making the rounds of the family. 3000 lines of code for a 6 year old is a big deal in anyones books. I still remember how amazed I was when it ran first time with only a minor glitch with the colours I had chosen for the explosion effects. That was the begining of my fascination with programming and I haven't looked back. None of the code I wrote even came from the BASIC book that came with the computer - I used it as a reference for the keywords only....GOTO is your friend:)
For the uninitiated among the readers here are a few factoids of doctor who:
TARDIS is the name of the doctors ship and it stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.
The TARDIS is bigger on the inside than the outside because it is Dimensionaly Transcendental. This means that it transcends multiple dimensions hence providing more room - not to mention that it was developed by the Time Lords - a very technologicaly advanced race. After all how do you think they came up with the idea of the matrix. For those of you who followed the series like I did then you know all about the matrix and also Rassilon's tomb, etc.
