And Howard replies:

Me too -- and I don't even have an AOL or CompuServe address! :-)

[Come to think of it, maybe I can see Anders' point ... ;-}]

It's quite a serious matter though ... it would be terrible to belong to
the last generation before mankind liberates itself from the sell-by date
hardwired into us by evolution. Previous generations didn't have even the
possibility presented to them so they couldn't agonize about missing the
boat. It's different now though.
