For all of you Wiz Kids, how many of you can still wire the boards on a IBM 403, or 407?
Why would I want to? If it's 6 months old it's obsolete.
Among other things, it would show that you youngsters can do something beyond wiring a subwolfer, distorting your car's bass so that it no longer resembles the actual bass, and annoying people at red lights--all the while thinking you are cool--while they are laughing at you. ~{;^)

It was a rhetorical question, and I'm not a youngster. I agree with you about subwoofers, but you don't ususally hear those coming out of an E60, maybe a 1995 Civic.

[/quote]You are right, of course--old timer. ~{;^) Nautrally, I was kidding; just joining in the fun. You just gave me a chance to post the subwolfer "material."

[/quote]Hi Rudy:

No, I wanted to enter my birth month and day, but, for minor annonymity, I did not want to put my real birth year. So, .... Thanks for asking; it would have been interesting had I really been that old. I am in the old dude category, though. Interesting there are at least 5 of us old dudes. Who are the rest? Come on guys/gals fess up. I am hopefully a tad wiser than at even, say, 40, but I still like the same things that I liked at 20 and younger (and new things).

Ok, Vnod I confess. I too was born before Pearl Harbor. However you and I have two of the same cars even the same years. Hope you enjoy your rides as much as I do.

Hi Joe:

I looked back; couldn't tell--what's your other matching car? No matter what they won't be able to accuse us of mid-life crises.

Gotcha. That's the same reason I put the birth year of my car instead of me in my profile. What's pretty cool is that that my car and I share the same birthday!

No, my mid-life crisis began when I was 25, and is still going strong, as long as there are drugs.
