KG2V, you're just not modern enough to have to depend on a noisy, smelly, gas-hog generator!

Poor little guy! *pat,pat* wink

Sue,
Recently I've been feeling distinctly 'non modern' - so much going on in my field (computer programming) and a lot of it I just don't like, and I'm feeling seriously old fogy. Call me old fashioned but I don't like HTML5, jQuery, and CSS for interfaces for non web apps

Well, *I* don't even know what that means!

A shame, really, it is. At the company where I work we are constantly trying to hire people with A++ skills in HTML5, jQuery and CSS. To give you an idea just how much we want this talent, employees to refer a candidate that is hired will get a bonus in the THOUSANDS of dollars when that candidate hits their three month anniversary.

We also have job openings in project management, art direction, and more. But we don't really train up people - we hire people with skills already in place.

I think that they call it Progress

BTW playing the duck bummaphone in a medieval smock sounds a more appealing past time than Facebook wink

Surely the Internet is best past its sell by date much like CB radio. It is a little weird that most governments see super fast broadband as a engine for economic prosperity but if the result is a society of mindless zombies like South Korea then living in a communications back water isn't so bad.

well, HTML4/XHTML I know, learning 5, I'm OK with CSS (wouldn't call myself an expert) and some experience with jQuery - but you're way too far away

Actually CB radio is still quite useful to see where the traffic backup is.
