My daughter, at age 4, used to walk throught the house singing: "W F7 N Y W F7 N Y" - which was how to go up to the computer and get into WordPerfect ("W"), then exit without saving the gibberish she had typed. (F7 - exit, "N" - no to "Do you want to save?" and "Y" to "Are you sure you want to exit?")

She made up the song, because, that's what she did with everything. But there's little or no chance of her becoming a developer.

So when did you get this gig with CoDe Mag? Congratulations.

>>This is a question for any of the parents out there...did your kids take up programming as well? If so, when did they start? I have two little ones (the oldest just turned 2) and expect both of them to be pounding keyboards before they hit grade school. Given some of the mayhem I caused as a young'un, I'm almost afraid of what they might do ("Gee Dad, I didn't mean to tank NORAD...")
