Geriatrics on HT , am I part of the problem?

I found one of these when I was cleaning out the office of one of my now-retired colleagues a year or so ago. Still have no idea what is or how to use it.

But I also remember working fisheries in Colorado and the computer we had to use for aging with scale annuli and generating age structures was an old DOS machine that none of us young field techs knew how to use. The old guys had to set it up and teach us DOS commands

I remember when this was cutting edge technology….

The faster I try to write the smaller my handwriting gets. At some point it is like reading a straight line with a few squiggles

The only explanation is that you are a doctor.

I'm so old I saw Epileptic Chicken open for Sha-Na-Na at the Electric Company's 2nd anniversary picnic.

Wild afros, but limited skill.

Speaking of Sha-Na-Na, about a zillion years ago we went to see them in Reno. I can't remember his name but the black guy came to my wife in the casino after the the show and said "I saw you during the show". Her response was "Yeh, I saw you too". A little later a guy comes up and says that whatever his name was, is inviting her back to his dressing room. She declined. It was all kinda funny really.

I can vaguely remember "I like Ike" campaign messaging.

I can remember being carded in a bar, now I don't need to be carded, as to whether I'm geriatric.

I'm 74 and definitely anti-elderly. I hate hanging out with guys that think they are on the downslope. Sure I move a little slower but I'm still moving. It takes me a little longer to climb up on a dozer to fight wildfire but I'm still doing it. I don't climb ladders like I used to but I'm not ready to quit and sit around playing bridge with a blanket wrapped around me. FK them old guys!
