You're better off for the Fortran and Basic, which actually explains a lot of why people here tend to be older. You understand computers and are willing to make a solution, not simply requiring one to be ready for you to download a fix-all. You're actually :gasp: EDUCATED!!!!yorkiesnorkie wrote:48 and counting... I remember watching Gerry Anderson's UFO when a computer was the size of a room. When I went to school we learned Fortran and Basic. There were certain individuals who used to print out pinups of girls which were entirely made up of text. What a laugh. Does that make me older than dirt? Probably not. I remember the flying cars too but we'd probably be far worse off now environmentally if they'd been realized.
As for the flying cars, the environment would be fine. It always has been. It changes some from time to time, but it always steadies itself. The earth's climate is dictated almost entirely by the sun, and yet we never hear anything about it. There's a documentary called "The Great Global Warming Swindle" that everyone who believes in man-made climate change absolutely MUST watch before they believe everything they've been told. Get both sides of the issue before you jump to conclusions. And hey, it's actually interesting and fun to watch, even if you don't change your mind.
