I've noticed that many kids these days are *very* bright. I've
also noticed that older folks who generalize about kids being
dumb, or who call them assholes, or whatever, invariably *are*
what they call the kids. My children and grandchildren are all
very very nice people... if the kids you know aren't, and
appear to be dummies, look in a mirror to see who's teaching
them!

Do you think you are the only one here that worked with
computers prior to PCs, or prior to Unix, or prior to
Model-33's?

Enough of your nonsense.
