Let me add to the list of things you must also
painfully accept as truth and act upon..
Stop driving your classic car. Stop buying parts, stop putting fuel and oil into an old heap that just wastes it. Stop posting about it on news groups, crash it into a tree and leave it for dead. It's just a waste of time, money and resources. Get a two seater hybrid and be happy.
Stop listening to your oldie music favorites. The recordings are poor by today's standards, the lyrics are out of date, and the singer/s or group is probably dead. Even if they are still alive, the crowd at a reunion concert will be filled with old timers with beer bellies and/or bald heads and bad teeth. Buy the latest top 40 stuff on digital media, even if it does give you a headache, insult your intelligence and offend you multi-cultural friends.
Stop visiting or corresponding with your elderly relatives. They're really old and haven’t contributed any thing useful to the open source or commercial software libraries in years. Get adopted by programmer from India and spend your time reading warm letters written in the latest "spaghetti code" style.
Stop any other hobbies you currently practice that have been bad mouthed on an internet news group. You'll feel better I suppose once you've caved to the opinions of lurkers that know nothing about you.
Get rid of your biological pets. They are inefficient. Replace them with the latest robotic pets that require far less maintenance. And you can flash there personalities with the latest code when you're tired of them.
The list goes on. But you can see how much happier you will be if you just let all things past go and live in the now. Hey, guess what. OS4 and MorphsOS are now, so their ok too.
:-D :-P
This stuff is a hobby, diversion, simple past time. But some actually manage to make a career and money out of it. So? Join in or go home. Posting depression is not a health past time.
Sometimes I just can't resist. :lol:
