Same here, and learning new things in general. The day I stop learning, and WANTING to
learn, is the day I stop breathing.
I suppose the difference, and what Liam is getting at, is that he's tired of learning
new OSes. I'm tired of learning new math, and I don't intend to get further than
I already have unless there's a pressing need (linear algebra has served me well
enough, and I know enough multivariable calculus to get by). We all have things that
we're tired of learning, but I think there's a stark difference from being tired
of learning *something* and being tired of learning.
