I still feel in my mid forties in my head, tho my physical body reminds me constantly I'm not. Its a good age. I can look back and see how far we've come with technology, and marvel....Anyone remember the commodore 64? And now, God's little miracle......the KINDLE!

I'm, pause while I figure it out..., I'm about to turn 55. My first computer, three of them was the TI99'ers. Wanted a PC but couldn't afford it, so got the 99'ers instead. I was a computer professional in the Air Force, having taken computer courses in my college, before you could major in them (the old IBM 360 mainframes). We had to use punch cards to input our programs. First job in the military had HPT (head per track) disks which were about three feet, yes feet, in diameter. I actually got to see one of the OLD drum computers, one of the last in service back in the 70's.
I'm still hooked on computers, and can't wait to get my first eink device. Waiting for just the right one.
