Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly
change things.

The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were
born in 1987 . They are too young to remember the space shuttle
blowing up.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

The CD was introduced the year they were born.

They have always had an answering machine

They have always had cable.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.!

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a
Camel", or "de plane Boss, de plane".

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter

Do you feel old yet? (Sorry) Pass this on to the other old fogies on
your list. Notice the larger type, that's for those of you who have
trouble reading.

They kept the food warmer for a longer period of time, too.

Love flourocarbons. In fact, I still have R-12. If my trucks A/C messes up, I can still charge it with what its supposed to have in it.

i was at a junk yard a couple years back and there was an old work truck that had a few probably 10 or 20 lb tanks of r-12 and i tried like hell to get the regulator opened with out busting them....


the flip side is that now with the new stuff r134a or whatever it is so cheap to convert it over now.....and you can get the conversion kits anywhere...the first time i converted one it involved a few sealers and all kinds of craziness and took half a day of thinking i was gonna blow the can up in my hand....now its cake takes about 20 min...
