John "John Smith" wrote in message ... Jim: I just took it for granted that everyone experienced life a lot like me. Remember when your were 21? And how back then 50 year old people looked like they had one foot in the grave? How 60 year old people looked as if they were preserved in formaldehyde? And, were just about as interesting to chat with as window drapes? Now that you are old--suddenly you got blind? I am 55 and people even 65 are about as interesting as rocks--there is that kind of difference which occurred in the 60's and has been occurring ever since... Get real--the only reason some old geezer type will have a younger woman on his arm is for the money.... You can extrapolate on that to figure out how it applies here at amateur radio...

"John Smith" wrote in message ... http://www.arrl.org/news/features/2004/04/01/1/ John Hello, John I passed my amateur extra, 1st phone, and 2nd telegraph in 1966. After letting all my tickets expire, I simply re-tested and passed with no study my amateur extra (20 wpm) in 1993 as well as my GROL (which is considerably simpler than the old 1st phone). I have worked with a lot of surface mount technology, computers, programming languages, and still know pi to 100 places. What amazes me is that folks think that if you have an education that is 15 years old or more or possess a license issued more than 15 years ago, then you can't possibly be up-to-date. Sounds like you've got earlyheimers disease to me  )With all due regard from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA |
