I took photography classes when I was in junior high (middle) school and again in high school. During that photography class in high school, my step-grandfather gave me his Argus camera. It was my first 35mm camera.

Somewhere in my and my family's moves I lost track of that camera. I don't know if it got lost in one of those moves, donated, given away,...

@littlejohn22,Β too much stuff is written in Java that it will ever completely go away. Just like COBOL, FORTRAN and maybe even Pascal. There are still applications running that use them. Every once in a while you'll see an advertisement for a COBOL or FORTRAN programmer. As for Cucumber, it's a lot newer, but not really a programming language. It's more of a test framework. Tests are written in plain English (or other supported language), and a test step is created from that, written in Java (or other supported language). It's pretty cool and makes it easy to keep track of tests or group them into suites.

@freyahz, thank you!
