Us young  people can feel old too!  Soon as we have kids, we develop memories
of  having to ride our dinosaur to school, uphill both ways in the snow  all
summer long!

When *I* was your age, young whippersnapper, I  browsed the internet with a
TEXT-BASED browser!  ;)

Obrigada,
Lianor

Yeah, and had to WALK to the TV to change  channels, through 3 feet of snow, 
uphill, both ways!  And we only had 5  channels!

Morgan (who really did walk to school uphill both ways, and  can give the map 
of Stan Wyrm as proof).


Ahh poor Morgan, I remember the first color television in town.  The  first 
thing I ever saw in color was JFK's funeral.  And only the rich could  afford 
that new thing called "cable".  The rest of us watched "free TV" or  in other 
words rabbit ears wrapped in foil.
 
Of course if you want to feel young, I could play you a tape my grandmother  
and her sisters made where they talk about seeing the first bathtub in the 
state  of Missouri, or electricity coming to town or actually seeing the first  
phone.  Or their stories about what the great depression combined with the  
dust bowl really meant to small family farmers across the nation.  And that  is 
only what happened in 100 years.
 
Is it any wonder we have trouble coming up with accurate information on  what 
was done over 1000 years ago.  Truly it is a wonder that we are able  to find 
anything.  And now so much is entrusted to computer records, how  much 
advancement would we lose if we could no longer access computers?   Scary thought 
isn't it?
