I'm 65. I've been reading SF since 1951, started working on Big Iron in 1973 and moved on to "minis" in 1977 then on to what we called "micros" (PC's to you whippersnappers) in 1984. I've managed to keep most of my brain cells. And, as you know Paul, I'm a big fan of Futurismic. I'm still waiting for my jet pack and the breakthrough that gives us FTL. Oh, I've had more wrong answers in my life than I care to count. It’s nice to know that the surfing I’ve been doing since the early 90′s – on a 28.8 modem, mind you – has paid off. I’m 65.
