I've always been curious about how things work. When I was little, I annoyed my parents with millions of
questions. Why is the sky blue? How does water come out of the tap when you open it? Maybe I was born without the
mental switch that lets you be happy with using something, without trying to figure out how it works.

Since it was mentioned I looked at it.
The kid (Jason?) should have been climbing trees in a nice little forest, skipping stones in the pond, riding his bicycle, stealing apples from the orchard, chasing girls, lots more fun than dreaming OSs at that age. Life is too short to miss on that really good stuff.
I am really glad that until I was in college, computers were completely off limit, not available except time share, so did I miss anything, probably not, it wasn't there yet.
So I read the article, well what was said could as easily apply to quite a few engineeing projects.
I wouldn't be so proud to announce he's been doing OS design since 10yrs old either, I don't think that will help get new customers, I want to see educated experience in a supplier, not blind enthusiasm.
Now when I see kids looking for VB or Java books in the CS section of the book store with dad of course, I have to wonder, am I going to let that happen to my kids, I really hope not. Time for a picnic!
