in near 30yrs of IT, by far the hardest subject i've ever done .

theory side is a pain in the scouser keith, not the pratical side, i grew up using dbase2&3 when i was younger

theory side is heavy going, boring conceptual data models, distributed database management, E-R diagrams, normalization etc...

i knew i should have done wireless networking

Wrote some programs in BASIC myself in those days. Had to save them on cassette tape!!!!!

First one I wrote was an adventure called 'Gremda.'

2.6k in length and took about 20 mins to load from tape!!!

LAUGH?????
