    Happy birthday, Richard. Why 13? Isn't 16 sweeter than that?

                  Well happy birthday! Possibly I'm not observant enough, but I'm often surprised at the age of people on here. 'IT' seems to have this perception of being a young-person's pursuit, and I fear I'm in a profession where I'll be cast out for no other reason than being too old one day (and not too far in the future!) But, more and more the evidence stacks up the other way. The more 'mature' developers remember what it was like before .NET trivialised development, and this site certainly demonstrates that age has no bearing on knowledge or competence. That's reassuring information. Wish I was older now, why-oh-why was I born too late for punched cards! Have a great day!

                  Regards, Rob Philpott.
