Funny kind of update, i know... but:
Was talking to my (Silicon Valey geniius)brother, who was going to brief me on various stages of c. Turned out that I actually remember 90% of modren day computing from when I was 4 as:
1) It can't actually change as it all comes down, eventually, to something = 1 or 0 (whatever spin you put on it, computing today is punchcards but facter... as is the brain... all of life comes down to the rizla game... )
(I always won it)
2) It's all either "X = (CONDITION\STATEMNT)" and\or "If X is... um... x then do x... if not do y" which I learnt (and did) when I was 5. Which makes me think of all the human languages I speak where the trick is not getting them to understand you, but understanding them in return. Which I'm starting to think I might be able to do...
Anyway, onto the next one...
