I’ll bet you don’t appreciate my Windows 98 or my 54’ GMC long bed pickup either!

And here I thought I was keeping up with the neighbors!

I am in the middle of the restoration of a car that came off the assembly line on November 8, 1941... a 42 Cadillac. The car is 80 years old and has never had any major engine work done and still runs fine even on unleaded gas, although I use an additive.

I still have the first IBM PC Clone that I put together along with licensed copies of Word Perfect, Lotus 123, and others running under the latest version on Microsoft DOS 6.22.

Many people these days have no appreciation for equipment of any kind from earlier times. I find that rather sad. BUt I have no appreciation for them either so I guess that we are even.
