Re: hope for the future

[Simon Favre <simon@domain.elided>]

I bought my '62 Giulietta Spider at the tender age of 20 as a "starving
student" living at home. It was a $100 car. My "backup transportation"
consisted of a wheezing, ugly old '57 Ford F100 I used to haul auto
parts around. Sometimes, I got to borrow my old man's car, which was a
primo '53 Chevy. My Mom drove a '60 Falcon. Hey! I had the newest car
in the family, and it was a $100 car!!! That was 26 years ago. I still
have the car. OK, OK, by the time it was actually reliable enough to 
use as a daily driver, I had put a lot more than $100 into it, but by
then, I was out of school making twice as much as my Father ever did.

Welcome Joe, and hang in there.

Happy YAWN2K everybody,
