Member's ages

[gikstar]

Hah, was 64 when I originally posted, now I'm 65!

... which brings me to a few items from the essay "Observations on Growing Old"

• "Yellow becomes your big color---your eyeballs, your skin, your teeth, your underwear."
• "Going out is good; coming home is even better!"
• "When people say you look "Great", they add, "for your age!"
• "The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 15, and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds"
• "You use more 4-letter words---"what?"..."when?"

Ah, 4 out of 5 ain't bad... Ah, why did I come here again?

Slightly older than my picture, started in the days of CPM, recall the introduction of the Hard Drive. Remember a new OS called Windows.

When I was in my 30's I kept forgetting my age. Now that I'm pushing 65 I'd like to forget my age.

I remember IBM's first "Winchester" hard drives. Why did they call them "Winchester"? 30 MB drive with a 30 ms access time. 30-30 as in the old Winchester rifles.......
