I'm almost 33 now. So in 8 years, I will be older than him; as he's dead and isn't aging anymore...It's just one of those things you don't expect, then one day.. it happens. >> I don't think I ever tried to say I'd be doing this longer than you >> Ant. :) > > You never know, you may end up doing that - or does being an old geek > not appeal? the geek doesn't bother me as much as it did in school; intelligence has nice rewards, but at the same time it's a double edged sword. I had a sinking feeling when I was a kid messing around computers how things would be when I got older. And for the most part, things worked out as I expected them too. Very disappointing, but predictable. If you wound up with a family and the nice house and pickett fence and all that jazz then you beat the norm. Being a geek usually includes antisocialism; and for me, it will eventually be my undoing. heh, the irony of the whole situation is I more than likely will be directly responsible; perhaps on purpose even. So to sum it up, if getting older (60s, 70s) or however old you are, under present conditions does not appeal to me. -- "Hrrngh!
