IJMC - Feeling Old?

Well, this one gets me...but not quite enough to make me feel old yet. 
There are enough older people at work (and school even...) that I got a 
few more years to feel young. And then, well, no comment.         -dave

P.S. Why not 250mhz? Cause Windoze 95 is an unstable operating system.
     NT4.0 had no trouble at 250mhz...but Windoze 95...ugh. 233 it is.





ARE YOU FEELING OLD?   IF NOT, CONSIDER THIS:

The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were
born in 1980...
     
...they have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan era.
     
...they were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged.
     
...Black Monday 1987 is as significant to them as the Great Depression.
     
...their world has always included AIDS.
     
...Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums and cassette audiotapes; they
may have heard of an 8-track, but probably never actually seen (or
heard) one.
     
...the digital Disc was presented to Wall street when they were 1 year
old.
     
...from their earliest years, a camera was something you used once and
threw away.
     
...as far as they know, stamps have always cost about 32 cents.
     
...few, if any, have lived without an answering machine.
     
...few have used a TV set with only 13 channels.
     
...some use the word "clickers" for "remote control", yet they do not
know why they say it.

...they were born the year that Walkmen were introduced by Sony.
     
...the expression "you sound like a broken record" means nothing to
them.

having the kids go to school year-round wouldn't be such a bad idea
after all.

You ever wanted to be gagged with a spoon.

There was nothing strange about Bert and Ernie living together.
