Very disappointing, but predictable. Computers were unheard of in school when I was a kid.

FWIW.. you don't seem antisocial to me at all.. just normal. LOL Well said, Jenn. I can stay at home for days at a time and be totally wrapped up in what I'm doing, computing-wise. Fortunately, I have a circle of friends and acquaintances at my local pub and make a point of going there for lunch a few times a week to keep in touch with the real world! >> So to sum it up, if getting older (60s, 70s) or however old you are, >> under present conditions does not appeal to me. > > Actually, the older a person gets, the more comfortable it gets being true > to ones self. You are 33? It gets better ....... :) That's very true. Overall, I'm much more content and settled than I was in my 30's.

We've come a long way since those days. Punch cards using FORTRAN with WatIV and WatV. Nothing like the feeling of a stack of cards clutched in your hand as the squeezed middle explodes and scatters upward on your way to the batch tray. Next two hours on a wide expanse of floor reordering them - "Here's 0001, now here's 0693, now 0428, oh yeah 0002 after 0001, here's 1867..." Regards, Len Agoado agoado(a)msn.com
