Bill,

Take this for what it's worth, but I had always assumed you were much
older. You just always sounded... so knowledgable about a great many
subjects.

Of course, I may have just kicked a hornet's nest with not only Bill,
but with many other writers out there. So forgive a young (27)
whipper-snapper for trying to eat at the grown-up table. I'll go back
to the fold-out table in the den with the rest of the kids after I
fill my glass of punch.

Well, this 32 year old always feels exceptionally old when he visits
some of his grad student friends... One was wearing a "true classic"
t-shirt with wording to that effect and a picture of a NES (Nintendo
Entertainment System, for all y'all non-geeks and fogies out there). I
had to give him a hard time, since I still have (in working order) my
old faux-wood-clad Atari 2600. I was merely trying to give hima hard
time, but he was wide-eyed with awe that I had such a thing.

So yes, at 32 I feel old. Of course what also makes me feel old is
that the NES barely post-dates their births... *groan*
