Hi Maggie
I don't mind being "old" :-)  . I mind  the teflon coating my brain seems to
have developed in some instances when I am learning totally new things.  I
think some things like a foreign language and some aspects of computing seem
to have no crevice to lodge in to take root and just slide off and out of my
head.  I feel like I'm gouging at a diamond surface with over cooked pasta.
I keep gouging...It is beginning to leave at least a sticky starchy trail
;-)  .
(I too had an elephant size HP )
