What's your age?

[DonRich90]

Damn, ya'all make me feel old. I'm 67 but I feel like 17 when I'm in my Mustang (top-down and my Sirius playing 50's & 60's Rock 'n roll).
I bought my first Mustang new in '65. Sure wish I had that fastback now!
Remember,keep paying into Social Security - I need some expensive accessories for my car.

Hey Don,

Piece of advice for all you young guys in college or fresh out... Don't get dug into a career that can be outsourced. I'm seeing it happening all around me and there is nothing we can do about it except work a job that can't be outsourced. In the next 5 to 10 years China and India will have most of our IT jobs and others that they can do off shore for much cheaper than we get paid here. Do yourselves a favor and look ahead at the changes that are happening now.

Just trying to help the younger professionals. (Gotta keep a good income to afford the Stangpit)

I remember punch cards and time sharing. I even remember 8" magnetic media and tape reels...

I remember when electric typewriters and hand-held calculators were the latest devices in the office and A/C and auto transmissions in cars were for the rich. Computers? Hell, they're just a fad.
The more I read (and enjoy) this thread, the older I feel.
