Yes, I can identify with that; I also don't program enough (because it's only a hobby which I don't make enough time for :-O) but sometimes just lounging about (older members will recognize me as a compulsive lounger from a while ago...) is great fun, the people here are generally really good-natured (and have interesting interests).

Well said, indeed. :rose: I identify myself with most of what you say, except, I *am* a programmer (though not programming Windows anymore). Cheers, Vikram.

:-D Heck, Rog, any* house should have more windows than doors. * As in 'any average house'. You never know, some moron might have built a house with 10 doors and no windows. :suss: Cheers, Vikram.

I'm scared, Rog. I always used to think of Nish as somebody from my own age group. Then I stumbled across one of Nish's blog entries where he talks about being middle-aged. :apprehensive emoticon: You might not know it, but in India it's customary to call older people who're not related to you 'uncle' or 'aunty' (unless of course, it's a business environment). If it's somebody just a few years elder, you call them 'bhaiya' or elder brother. Kids are now calling me 'uncle'. :sigh: Of course, people who know me personally will swear that I'm still a kid. :cool: I rather like being a kid at heart, and will give you an honest compliment by saying that I've drawn inspiration from you. :rose: :) Cheers, Vikram.

Also, I was playing around with words in my reply to Paul's mail. He meant 'older members' as in people who joined earlier. I was referring to physical age in my reply. :) Cheers, Vikram.

Don't be scared - Nish is a worrier. He probably started planning his funeral when they gave him a driver license.;) Anyone under 30 is a kid, but most of them lack enough experience to realize that. Keep on being a youngster - I'm convinced that you'll live longer that way. And even if it doesn't extend life, a youthful approach to life makes it so much more fun!:-D "...putting all your eggs in one basket along with your bowling ball and gym clothes only gets you scrambled eggs and an extra laundry day...
