Wow, that's getting some good life out of a case. I just wish the other components could remain useful for that long.

There's a very friendly club of old dogs here, and we're all learning new tricks every day. This is a great clubhouse for all of us.

An old friend used to tell me (frequently, because he didn't remember that he'd told me this before), You're not getting really old when you forget to zip up. You're getting really old when you start forgetting to zip down.

I am not getting, I am. LOL. I remember my first wireless and laptop. The "wifi" was custom, product I don't think anybody else made any kind of wifi equipment at that time - there were no standards. I was, and am, proud of being one of the first people to be able to do work sitting on the toilet on mu bare ass, on my big ass box of a laptop - an IBM with crappy small TFT display.

Also did punch cards for analyzing physics data on mainframes. Wrote my thesis on a Macintosh ( very tiny those) with many Bombs (equivalent of blue or green screen).

Vista was amazing in comparison.

Also did punch cards for analyzing physics data on mainframes.
I can also remember using punch cards to analyse biological statistical data in 1968.
You can tell that decrepitude (to quote Roy Batty in Blade Runner) has absolutely started to set in for me, when I tell you that I actually rather liked Vista - sure it was slow, but I liked the way it looked (3D windows and shadows etc.).

H*ll, I have trouble remembering yesterday and what I went in the kitchen for. LOL

hmmmm...... The husband to his wife " Darling, today I opened the bathroom door and the lights came on automatically." and the wife screamed " Oh. my God, don't tell me that you pissed into the refrigerator." Hope you didn't - in the kitchen :-) .

I remember my mom getting coupons in the mail that were punch cards "Please Don't Bend, Spindle or Mutilate".

That’s CorningWare with the blue cornflower design. Corelle was an inexpensive substitute for real china dishes. Lots of us went through a Corelle period. Yep, you’re old, my friend.
