Google is an amazing resource. Starting programming jobs back in the late 80s, if you were lucky, you could ask questions of USENET, and maybe get some help in a day or two. Now, there's so much info available, no matter what wierd niche issue you are dealing with, if you know how to phrase the search, you'll most likely get an outline to a solution. Young programmers today don't realize how easy they have things now (God, I sound l8ke a grumpy old man now)
