I'm kind of a "late bloomer" too (although 9 years earler; I'm 18). I don't believe there is any age to being "too late to learn about computers." You just have to have a liking for computers and a lot of time (which I have). Hooray for being in High School.

welcome on the site LaBlueGirl...:wink:
seems Linux is your main OS, nice! :) and Stavros is right, the age don´t matter in computer stuff, I´m 36, I´ve been working with computers since I was about 13, but then I had a pause of 10 years and began again about 3 years ago. and to switch from an Amiga 500 to a PC is like starting all new.. :lol:
I´m not much of a gamer (lack of time), but my favorite genre is spacship action like in Freelancer, right now I´m unpatiently waiting for the release of Darkstar One... :D

hehe, black9, Linux can be frustrating at the beginning, but it´s absolutely worth it, Windows to Linux is like Playstation to PC...serious computing isn´t really possible with Windows imo and Linux also forces you a little to learn about the essentials like networking... :wink:

Speaking of games and Linux, has Call of Duty 2 been successfully ported to Linux?

I have a weird sleep patern. Lately, I've been going to bed about one in the morning and waking up about 6:15 and I feel reasonable. Last night I went to bed earlier (right after 11:30) and I felt like crap when I woke up. I don't know what's up with that.

ya when i don't have work straighting me out my sleeping habbits are allllllll over the map. I must say though i would rather stay up at night and sleep in the day, i like it alot better.

as for Call Of Duty 2 im not sure i know Cedega only supports the first Call of Duty for right now. Im not sure about wine and other programs. I know it sucks but if not now im sure support for COD 2 will come over time.
