How you know you're getting older...
Message #1 Posted by Michael Meyer on 23 Oct 2009, 9:51 p.m.

So, I was somehow the only bidder for a TI-59 with printer, multiple modules, lots of books, etc. ($5)

I haven't repaired a TI-59 card reader for awhile, so I did an internet search for advice.

I found an old posting on the HP Museum site describing how to do it. It wasn't until I read the posting that I realized that I had written it...almost 7 years ago.

You know you're getting older when you end up finding your own advice on the internet!

It will start becoming severe when you find yourself *surprised* finding your own advice in the net - or you can't remember Mr. Alzheimer's first name anymore ;)

Take care!

I was trying to come up with a "vanity plate" for the car a few years ago. My final 2 were:

MEM LOST and RTN2RPN

I guess I'll stick with MEM LOST.
