Getting old and aging.


Recommended Posts

we all know that our age has nothing to do with our state of mind nor our ability to stay in the game , our health has more control of that , my attitude is positive and ;long as i can ill stay in this - i like it , when i get too old ill give my chit away to new young shooters and hope they stay with it , 

 

gettin up at all hours of the night aunt fun but the alternative is nothing i want to contemplate right now , im good with gettin old we all knew it was coming , just never thought it was going to happen to us , but life is just a sexually transmitted disease thats going to kill is all in the end

An old man once told me, “Life is a sh!t sandwich. Eat it, OR STARVE!”

 

Reckon I’ll just cover it up with mustard and hot sauce and get on with it….

 

 

do I get a choice of bread? :rolleyes:

Come on now people. Am I the only one that looks on the previous page to make sure that I haven't already posted something before I post it again?

THAT"S NOT OLD.

 

Win 98 was released 26 years ago.

The first version of Windows is 39 years old

MS DOS is 43 years old

The TRS-80 is 47 years old.

The first game console is 52 years old

The Kenbak-1 considered to be the first viable home computer is only 53 years old.

Looking at the tires on 2 of those bikes, those folks aren't going to live long enough to get old!

I think it says a lot about the world in general that this guy was NOT supposed to be empathized with or understood, and yet we all understand where he is coming from LOL.

Those tires are racing tires. Really gummy and they grip like crazy. They would only last 1000 miles, maybe. They are not street legal.

Either way...

The Altair. Used an Intel 8080 micro processor.

 

 I’m sure there are others!

I remember the TRS-80 in Jr High. When I was stationed in Spain I saw my first Commodore 64 and shortly after the 128

My brother bought a trash 80. Used cassette tapes to run the programs.

 

Floppy disks? Waaay in the future.

I had one too!  I eventually upgraded the cassette drive to a floppy disk drive when they became available...think they were the 5 1/4 inch disks.  Actually, I should say I still have it...it's up in the attic, but I haven't taken it out to boot it up in a long time!
