Got into computing back in 1980 when our country school got in an Apple ][+ for a couple of weeks. I haven't looked back.
Coding for the iPhone currently, but love Javascript + Raphaël too!
My hope is no one OS / platform / language will dominate any space, competition is always good. I hope the fun of computing will always remain, which is one of the things I love about the Open Source movement. I believe our world needs priority and openness, both need to exist to help push us forward.
