> I just read the latest rinkchat archive! I cannot believe the age of some of you rinkies. I was born in 1969 and will be 31 next Saturday. I remember Star Wars first time around, Alien, Trading Places, The Terminator, not that I could actually see some of them till later. I remember Jimmy Carter, Margaret Thatcher, John Wayne and John Lennon. I remember LP's, Computers with only 32K memory and Betamax Videos. I remember the building of the M25 and no Bridge at Dartford. Do I feel old?

This seems to be the time of year for birthdays. Mine is Monday but I'll have ten years up on you.
Speaking of 1969, my outstanding memory for that year is watching the moon landing on TV, and all the excitement and discussion about it.

I too read the Rinkchat and felt like I ought to bring out the cane and the support hose.
