Nope, I miss quite a few in fact. Old? I might be looking at 77 yo in a couple months, and a few things don't work anymore because I'm too sweet (type 2 diabetic), but I can occasionally claim to be a JOAT in a serious tone of voice. Hell Dotan, I even know how vacuum tubes work, including some of the exotic ones, like klystrons. I had to wait till they had invented transistors before I could use my first one, 10 years after I had decided I wanted to be an electronics whiz in about '39 cuz my uncle kept himself in beer money fixing radios. > I have also come to the conclusion that the perfect woman, the perfect > physics theory, and the perfect programming font are all illusions > that men will stride their entire lives in search for but will never > find. ROTFLMAO! And right you are. It took me several decades (and 3 women I'll explain someday) to reach that conclusion.
