I'll be 40 in June and agree with everyone else who says that you're never too old to learn. Heck, I just started ninpotaijutsu (blue belt) and iaido six months ago. First computer was a, gasp ;), Commodore64, back in 1987, on which I promptly started programming in BASIC, moving on to assembly. Used Amigas until Commodore went out of business and switched over to 'PCs'. Was on the internet, if you could call it that ;), in 1993. Program in C/C++, Python, and Java these days. Rarely program in assembly any more. There is a great little OS written completely in assembly that fits on a floppy disk just out. Wonder if they'll port Poser over to it? :P Tried 3D CG early on with the Amiga, but found it limited and frustrating - CG, not Amiga. :) Started with Poser about two years ago, now using it in conjunction with LW, C4D, Vue Pro, UV Mapper, and PhotoShop to create my own models, scenes, and animations. I gave my old C64 to a friend who, knowing his "pack-rat" behaviour, probably still has it in running condition somewhere in the clutter. He also has some cool 10" floppies (he has been programming in COBOL for at least twenty years).

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
