Tony,
Ok, seems like we are on the same wave length. I agree with you.

Haven't read all of your message yet, but wanted to fire this off,

I don't blame someone so much for not wanting to learn, as much as I
dislike it when they don't respect it. For instance, I have friends
I think, perhaps, I wasn't particularly clear (my fault...).
I can fully understand when somebody doesn't want to learn a particular
thing. Heck, there are plenty of things I have no interest in learning
about. What I can't understand is somebody who has no interest in
learning anything.
And like you, I dislike it when people don't respect somebody else's
interests (even though they may not share them themselves).
Another issue is that if you take up a hobby like classic computing, you
are likely to run into problems from time to time. And IMHO, you should
then _want_ to learn whatever is needed to sort those problems. Perhaps I
am going a little too far, then...
