Hello All.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I'll just say this, I'm the oldest Geek I know. I recently bought a I2 for mobility purposes, as I need some assistance when a lot of walking is needed.

I currently work as a Reliability, Availability, Maintainability-Testability (RAM-T) Engineer for a well known company. I also participate as a Support Pro for a well known Blackberry Forum Site. I hope to learn a lot how others use their Segway PTs


Rcbjr.

If you're still working you've got a long way to go to beat the record. My old boss just passed at age 81; he had the biggest baddest home computer I know of, with a lovingly maintained copy of OS/2 (http://www.ecomstation.com/). He'd gleefully tell tales of device driver issues and bug busting and add-ons if you let him. An old mainframer, he liked the Tritus SPF editor, and was writing COBOL code up 'til the end.

Hope I'm still hacking at Lisp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Bank_Common_Lisp) and laughing at xkcd (http://xkcd.com/327/) when I get to his age.
