But at my thinkers age, I'd like to think I have sense enough left to know my limits. So I ask. I am behind the curve of any modern language, even bash scripts I wrote 10 years ago can be a puzzle when they miss-fire until I've mentally stepped thru them several times. Its even personally embarrassing if when I find the why, and wonder WIH did I do it that way?
