    You think Glazed donuts will still be around in 2038? If not, will life still be worth living?

    Will all forms off food that is bad for us be banned before then?

    You'll be 70. You'll have to gum them to death anyway.

    This just goes to prove that before Gen-X was void, and without form. And likewise once they reach retirement.

    Do not make me reference Fortran or C++. Do not make me tell you that Control-f7 is how you print in WP5.1....

    Damn wippersnapppers.

    When I was a teenager, I paid $1200 for an Apple IIc and it didn't have a hard drive....

    Ha! I remember saving up my summer job money for an Amiga 500.

    A good choice. The Amiga had better graphics than the Apple's, but didn't have a lot of software. It could support EGA color monitors!

    (EGA was the precursor to VGA, which became SVGA....)

    BBC Micro, anyone? That was a real step up from the TRS80 and VIC20.

    Of course, all serious people learnt to use the internets on a VAX-11/780 mainframe, running VMS, sometime in the 80s.
