When I was a kid, we had no PC's but I DID have LOTS of board games. We used to play board games like crazy when we were kids. My birthday parties always consisted of board games all day. Then, later on in life, when we discovered Dungeons & Dragons, it turned into D&D or some other role playing game all day and night.

You were there? You saw this? Your word is not sufficient evidence to convict me of being "older than the hills and twice as dusty". Beware, you are in danger of being called "old" yourself.

We played outside all day. No PC's, no consoles. Head round to the neighbours with my air rifle and we would go shoot rabbits on the farm. Now its head round to the mates place and play the PS/Xbox. And kids! They think they know it all when it comes to computers they are so right and geeky and all that geeky stuff! Well I got news for them! Some blardy well are!

I once had this ten yr old turn up home with my son one day saw I was using windows 98 back then and ranted on about redhat linux and unix. I listened

. That kid grew up and writes code for a firm.
