OT: I'll snitch on Gene. Secretly he's programming the Tandy CoCo.
Anyway, I'm amazed that people suspect people ex 60 or ex 70 or even ex
80 not to take part of modern technology, especially because a lot of
men are the pioneers for today technology.
I'm at the end of 43 and I won't do the tricks I did with my skateboard
20 years ago anymore and I won't recommend Gene to take a skateboard and
go to a high half-pipe. Resp. to climb a radio mast at nasty weather, as
he did in the past, but why should older people stop thinking?!
