And you know you're getting old when...

... you try to explain to a young colleague how math works on a 6502:
 "You've got one all-purpose register, two index registers, an ADD and a SUB command - all 8 bit and integer only, of course."
 "And you could actually do calculations with THAT? Where's the FPU???" :lol:

6502? My son asked me several years ago what computer I used when I was in College. He looked amused when I pointed to my head. haha

There were calculators, very expensive and not allowed. Slide rule was allowed.

hi,

You know you have gotten old when you look at the President of the U.S. and you say what is that kid doing running the country.

When you see all the kids talking about the new droid phone and you are wondering what is so special about a phone.

When you come to Amiga.org, because they are the only ones that understand about what kind of computer you like and use.

smerf

getting old isn't permanent, I hear you feel young again right before you die.

I'm feeling ya man!

You know you've gotten old when...  

Gee, where to start?

2 of my children were born after Commodore's demise. My favorite computer (c64 - 1982) was released almost exactly 1 decade before my first child was born.

Then there is the whole gray hair thing, the shoddy memory thing.

Well my four boys were all born before Amiga was created!
