From time to time, even on this enlightened list, I hear the comment that older people don't understand computers as well as the young. Most of the young I know are experts in email and computer games, not much else. (There's a broad statement for you.)

I've been documenting computers since 1973. I admit the details of Assembler have slipped to the back of my brain, but I can still get what I need from a "green screen."
