Good choice of text steve, particulary Diamond Age - Stepherson's theme there also exists in Snow Crash - Uncle Enzo using Y.T instead of the young mafia who he sees the same way Lord what'shisname sees the education system in New Atlantis.

Oh ya - Hi all, i'm back. Working kinda insane hours at the moment + moving house etcetc so don't expect to see to much of me (listen to chorus of sighs of relief) yet.

Wolf is right on the money 98% of the 18y.os i know could not survive without parental support, too immature, living in an absolute bubble, no concept of cause and effect. Over the last few months i've learnt the hard way.
