the old farts club

TIGR · Feb 8, 2010

Only on a technology forum can you be 30 and an "old fart."

And no, I am most certainly not qualified! Just had to comment....

OK. I'm going to be 39 in May, but I kinda feel a year younger. I'm about to bench press 300lbs. for the first time in my life.

You're old Paul, you got me by four months :laugh:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<But I still do that a lot

CJCerny · Feb 8, 2010

43 in August. Just a few years until I eat dinner at 4 and go to bed at 8. Always enjoy reading stories of first builds that we're 386's when guys were like 3 years old and I was 25.

All you guys are young shits. Hell, my daughter is 40.

Nope. Keep guessing

Were you born on a leap year?

Kreij · Feb 8, 2010

This club is still going ?
I thought all the old farts died off and I was the only one left.

Maybe I just forgot to check it. That happens when you're old.

All you guys are youngsters. I'm 62.

I think I have an eight inch floppy in a box somewhere, but the first computers I programmed on did not have disk drives. They used punched cards.

Well, an 8 inch floppy is better than a 3 1/2 inch one no?

Btw I'm 34, so I guess I'm an old.... fart too :twitch:

I feel like a old fart sometimes. always sore and tired can't remember shit sometimes... Thats what sports and drugs do to a person sometimes :shadedshu

btw as some of you know i broke my foot and now that i have been given the clear to start training/conditioning again i am back at it :laugh:

@Paul i wish i could bench 300lbs i am stuck alittle below 200lbs

(not bad considering i'm ~130lbs)

I know what that feels like. Played 3 high school sports, 2 college sports and a few years of Semi-pro ball. Most of that time I was high as a kite in one way or another (pain killers, steroids etc) Most of those years are a blur, dead brain cells i guess. :shadedshu
