Yep, it's amazing how much technology has changed, but there's always people
like us who try to keep the old technology alive.  I have a friend who has a
HP minicomputer in his basement and has a terminal in his living room and one
in his office.  The mini runs HP-UX and he's very fluent in it.

He's 16 years old. :)
