I was able to say that about 5 years ago. :)

Not that I was 90, but that I was twice as old as I was when I first compiled
a method.  :-)

I think it was 1982 when I first got my hands on a Magnolia at Tek, executing
the ST80 image.  If that was 1983, then that would have been only three years
ago.  I *know* I was executing that before leaving for ServioLogic (later
Gemstone) in 84, so that's pretty much a done deal by now, one way or the
other.
