> 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?

I was struck when reading that archive. How can somebody be born after Empire Strikes Back was in the theaters? For that matter, how can someone be born after Star Wars debuted? It's not possible! Pac-Man! You were all born after Pac-Man! Augh!

Let's see, I was born in 1970... Everyone born after 1974 is offically a young whippersnapper. Everyone born after 1986 is "one of those darn kids these days". There. It has been proclaimed.
