Chuckle, but how many of them are subscribed to a mailing list for a 28 year 
old computer?  I think I'm pretty safe.  And you, I've seen on this list clear 
back in the Princeton days I believe.

Someone could make a similar remark about what I've done over the last 60 
years, and you would be right.  But some of those ex employers _still_ think I 
can walk on water.  Who am I to correct them?

It sure makes me feel good though. :)

It still brings a grin to my face 32 years later when the arthritis is yelling 
at me from every joint, to recall a paramed who was giving me a physical in 
'77 to see if I was worth a $50k life policy I'd asked for to go with the 
office door that (for the first time) said "Chief Engineer", and when I 
thought he was about done, asked me to take off my shoes.  I said "What's my 
flat feet got to do with this?"  He replied "Nothing, but I've been told you 
could walk on water and I wanted to see if your feet were webbed."  I got a 
good belly laugh out of that, said "Some folks are easily impressed." & then 
showed him that they aren't of course. :)
