Recently retired. Sick of MS Windows. Don't like Mac. Trialling Ubuntu. Love it. Tried learning C++ before but work got in the way (time wise). Trying again now on Code Blocks. Tell you what, if this doesn't keep alzheimers away, nothing will!! Its a challenge, but I'm up for it. Will need help though. Lots of it! Have a partner who used to program back in the eighties on mainframes, using Quantel. Can't help me here though. New world.
