oGeo,

>< wild applause > As someone who qualifies in the "older workers" category (I'll be 54 this coming Sunday), there's not much more to be said but: "Thanks"

You may be old, but you're ahead of me. :-)

Actually, at 50, I often think of an old greeting card a friend received from his wife on his 50th: "You're not over the hill until you're over the thrill..."

I think the card was referring to something other than learning new technologies, but I also think the saying applies very well to this discussion. I usually do learn something new every day and I don't intend to lose the thrill of it any time soon.

Whether a young potential boss is impressed or not is another story. The current one seems to be happy at the moment. :-)
