41 tomorrow. First computer experience was writing a BASIC program in little boxes on a sheet of paper at school, which was then sent in to the Council's computer department for execution: unfortunately the teacher had omitted a vital step and we all received "could not execute" slips. We bought an Acorn Atom (model before the BBC micro for UK readers) soon after and I found you could make pretty pictures by drawing lines in xor mode - been a sucker for Make Art buttons ever since. Bought Poser as a cover CD upgrade in late 2000, still learning stuff (very slowly).
