So was I James, but heck, I remember Pearl Harbor, about when the transistor was
invented & I grew up with tubes. My first computer had a whopping 256 bytes of
ram! But we should let these youngsters muddle about and learn so they can be
kind to us in our dotage.
The universal thing I widely note, except on most of these lists, is that people
seem to think 'higher' education is a 16 year thing, when in reality school is
in session every day they manage wake up still breathing. :)
