Being 30 years old, I'm just at the age of being "set in my ways" in many things in life, yet young enough to appreciate new things, change, etc. So I'm trying hard to not be a... "Back in my day...." kind of person. Whenever I do that with regards to music, education - anything, my wife gives me a hard time and tells me I'm getting old. Something to remember is their books that can be purchased individually contain all the how-to information a beginner would need. What's interesting is that info used to come from MR issues a lot of the times, right? With paintshop, etc. being "dead", I would think those types of books may be on the chopping block in the future. Funny - I could recall many articles of 2nd generation diesel detailing projects. About zeor for 3rd generation diesels. (I hope I have the generation terminology correct). You know what I mean - lots of 70's-80's diesel projects, few 90's-2000's that I can recall. I think Bob Smaus' weathering article was a nice step in that direction. I could imagine competing with video games, etc. is difficult for MR. Those games these days look as fun as heck - I just won't play any of them because I could see the time waste factor being a drain on my life.
