tedd-o has been around for a long time and has witnessed the evolution of said blow-ups dolls enough to know when he sees quality, form and function. I think I may be the second oldest regular on the list....tedd and I had that discussion once before. So I am stuck neither in the toolbox or the crayon box.

H'mm -- I think I might be competing in the "golden oldies" category, too, although from comments made on the list I think tedd at least beats me. I guess I'm a bit of a rusty scalpel these days (used to be good at fixing other people's problems / never seen the point(!) of blow-ups) -- so does that put me in an alternative toolbox??! ;) Cheers!

I'm really not that old, I wrote my first line of code in college in 1965 -- I even remember the problem. It was how long a swimming pool would take to drain to a trickle with the drain open and a garden hose filling it. Of course, we were given all the data to solve it, but it was more an adventure in keypunching than programming. Considering that I never took a deferment for college, I was drafted in 1966. I didn't even know what Vietnam was -- at the time. In my younger days growing up as a hillbilly in the Ozarks of Missouri, I remember talking to old men who were alive during the Civil War -- that kind of puts a span of time on things, huh? An interesting side note -- in the 5th grade (in the Ozarks), we were taught how to make a still. It was known that a few of us would actually go into the business and the school didn't want us to make go-blind stuff -- you see, all of the school board drank. I'm not that old, but I've seen more than most. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
