Marvelling at the possibilities is one thing - putting them into practice is 
another entirely...

I'm not sure about sorting, either. I'd love to write apps or games if the 
mainstream systems were BBC micros, but I pretty much got out of the 
programming game a few years ago and have no desire to go back. I was good at 
what I did, but what I did just didn't agree with me :-)
