Well, lets see... hmmmm... yes I am not as old as some of the people here. Being only 22, I still must agree that we are never to old to continue learning. The day I stop learning is the day I die. I have been using computers since I was 5 years old (started with Apple IIe) and got hooked pretty easy. Graduated to a 486 DX with 16 MB RAM (back when it cost $500 for 8 MB) and a 320 MB HD. Wow what a power horse!!! Than I got a 166 Pentium MMX. And now I am constantly buying, building, and upgrading machines constantly. My home box consists of a 1.8 GHz AMD XP+ with 512 MB RAM. But my all time joy is my render cluster at the college. It consists of four Pentium 3 600 MHz boxes (256 MB RAM each), one 1.8 GHz AMD box (1 GB RAM), and one 3.0 Pentium 4 GHz box (2 GB RAM). With all of these boxes working together they make short work of render scenes (as long as they are not Poser!) done with WorldBuilder. I would not even want to think of how long it would take to render even one single scene on one of those old computers that everyone here is talking about...
