I think we're dealing with "people who don't remember when LBJ was
president" ;-)

I was futzing around with my root partition last night and
realized that this month makes 20 years using UNIX.

I still remember the day I heard about this "thing called
Linux -- some people have re-written UNIX and are selling
it over the internet."

Oh and this conversation --

"What programming language do you use?"
"C."
"You mean COBOL?"
"No, C."
"How do you spell that?"
"C."

And of course -- having a professor tell me "C is an unstructured
language and not good for anything."  It's paid the bills for, oh,
about 18 years ...
