Unfortunately, I guess I'm in at 35. I remember back in the days when I first got my IBM PS/2 PC with a 286 processor and no HDD installed. Had to use the old DOS 4 on floppy disks. Them young'ens today don't know a garsh darn thing about workin' in DOS. Too much of that "instant gratification" thing. Makes me want to hit 'em with my stick... :slap:

Happy Birthday Man! I wouldn't say you are old, as I don't want to say I am, as I am only 1 behind you.

You can tell who the younger members here are by their post. The ones that are always right, even with their foot in their mouths. It's so funny. :laugh:

We can be glad because we walk on our feet, not insert them in our mouths.

Happy B'Day! :toast:
