    I managed to last one extra year before doing that. Mind you, having someone rear end and write-off my previous car was more of a contributing factor.

    You know, it always cheers me up to know that there is someone older than me on the boards :twisted:
    ...but you can't see the socks if you aren't wearing sandals. :razz:

    I'm kinda curious why you thought that? I've been into electronic gaming since Pong back in the 70s. The rise of the mall arcades with games like Asteroids, Galaga, Space Invaders, etc. Then the home consoles and finally PC gaming starting in the early 90s. And I'm a graphics whore, which fuels my interest in GPUs.

    I have to admit, though, that I've noticed a sharp decrease in my interest in certain genres, such as shooters. My hearing, vision, and reflexes have all taken noticeable dips over the last 6-7 years, which, frankly, while unavoidable, kind of sucks. Where the hell my 30s went I have no idea.

    Not 50 yet, but I can see it from here. . .Closer to it than 40.

    Will perhaps please you to know you won't need to take any more antibiotics for the swine flu, as that's caused by a virus, which is unaffected by antibiotics.

    Never take antibiotics for viral infections, all you do is increase the risk of random bacteria in/around you develop resistance to our medications.
