That is because I don't beat the threads that much. Here I'm a month away from three years on this site and still only have 729 posts. And yes I stay away from some of the threads. I read them only and then say to myself Oh Well. Should have joined when I first became aware of Apolyton. That was back late 98 or early 99.

Locutus: If all goes well, my wife and myself will be in London late July or early Aug. May go to Paris also.

Don't bother

Yes, we did our part, and it was sad time when he died.
We helped as much as we could by not treating him like a death case. A great guy... sigh...

I'm always interested to find computer-literate users older than myself. There aren't all that many of them, especially on complex game sites.

I was writing Fortran programs and entering them in mainframe computers via keypunch cards back in 1969 (you can't imagine how difficult it was to get a computer to play 2 legal turns back then ). Two chess turns took an entire shoebox full of cards (one per line of program). But I enjoyed the programming and debugging.

So I've always maintained a computer interest. I'm convinced that when you stop solving mental problems, your brain dies. In my office career, I've always been the one most adaptive to using computers to solve ever more complex information-management problems. When we have meetings of the office people who use computers the most, I'm almost always the oldest person there by a decade.

LOL! I probably seem like a fossil to most of them. That's OK, though. When we get into ways to use the applications, all that counts is what you know, and I'm fair enough at that. All I can say is that when my younger co-workers have questions about Access or Excel, I'm the one they come to.

I'm the one in the office who just naturally customizes the toolbars, screen colors, file views, creates detailed subject folders, etc.

What I can never figure out, though: what's so hard about it?

Well, when younger people try to tell us how wrong things were done in the fifty and sixty, my answer is, you where not there so how can you tell us what we should have done.
Just reading my lines again.

jeez, you're right. I never bothered to look up his profile. Now I know that he's Aroeira, a well-known cartoonist here in Brazil. I never thought that he could be a civ gamer. Cool.

I would post one of his political cartoons here, but given that he never did it himself, I don't want to do it without his authorization.
