I don't think many youngsters today even know
(or care) what a bbs board is. :/

you're probably right about that... i think you'd also be surprised at
how many of us "oldsters" are gamers, too... i mean, i remember
laughing at the idea that anyone could make a living playing video
games yet here we are today with many doing just that as their full
time job...

It's now also a full-time major at RIT, building video games and playing them.... I even personally know a kid that's in that major.... :)

i'm even doing what i can to try to save a couple of $$$ each time i
get some so i can maybe get a better GPU (Graphic Processing Unit aka video card) so i can stream my (rarely broadcast) content better and possibly i can also start to make some $$$ from others watching my
content and being a part of my community...

That sounds interesting.... :)

i really have to work on
verbalizing more, though... no one wants to watch someone play a game
or do any programming without saying a word about what they are doing something or making certain decisions for the flow to follow a certain path... all my life i've had to work at not saying everything that
comes into my head and now that's what needs to be done :lol:

You'll be in a situation where you're not only allowed to but expected
to be doing so.... <G>

... I have a watch cat! Just break in and he'll watch.

Same here. It's a lot easier when you have people in your stream chat room that you can interact with. It's really hard though when you don't have people talking to you.
