20 Learning that you always want to go by tens to help cover mistakes.
I'm finding my HTML skills to be pretty useless as of late as well.

Ahh, the memories! Both are definitely true. My first computer was an old C64 the neighbors wanted to throw away. I even got a 1541 for it at a flea market and got it to work. I only had a German manual, which I didn't understand at the time. (OK fine my uncle helped a bit)
Later I remember feeling like a badass when I wrote my first HTML page with a Perl script to mail the contents of a form to me. That was like nine years ago. I then lost interest in the subject, and now everything gets done automatically.
Another obsolete skill from that era:
Figuring out how to configure your DOS machine so that you can play Doom, run Win31, some older games that rely on your first 640k, and still have sound and CDROM. The good old days...
