Yes, you're _much_ older than I am - a whole five years older! <grin>

Yes, I'm that Chip Old. I stopped writing for TSO about fifteen years
ago, but might have stuck with it had desktop computers been invented a
bit earlier. Can't believe I wrote all those articles on a typewriter,
without benefit of cut/paste and delete key!

Heh. You're lucky I didn't deliver my lecture on why the engines and
gearboxes in T-Series MG's (and other Nuffield cars of the period) have
metric threads and whitworth hex heads. I haven't done that one in a
long time!
