Certainly.  I didn't get  into micros until I got out of the USAF in '78, took 
a programming class at a community college (part of the requirements for a 
math major) and wound up involved with a TRS-80 (later renamed Model One).  
Got into the Color Computer when I went to work for RS in late 1980 as an 
instructor (later customer support rep).  The Coco has always been my 
favorite 8-bit hardware, though Tandy Xenix transformed my career and I 
expect to run Linux and its successors for the rest of my life.  Oh yeah, I 
turn 50 in two months.

For all the superficial parallels that can be drawn between Mssrs. Putin
and Bush, they made an oddly matched pair during their February 24
meeting in Bratislava, Slovakia. After all, it could be said, one of
them heads an increasingly authoritarian and lawless government that is
pursuing a radical vision of global revolution rooted in the teachings
of the Soviet Union's founders. The other is merely the president of the
Russian Federation.               -- William Norman Grigg, March 4, 2005
