Hmmm; all but 1 of my computers use CPUs that Intel no longer builds. Damn;
looks like I'll have to replace them.

And the last time GM produced my 1981 Olds was 20 years ago; guess I'd
better run out tomorrow and look for another car.

But wait--my house is also almost 20 years old! The company that built it
isn't even in business any more! Guess I'll have to start looking for a new
house too.

Oh, crap; the last time *I* was in production was over 45 years ago! Guess
I'll have to get my things in order and turn over all my possessions and
projects so I can commit seppuku and allow some "current model" to take
over.







I guess it's just as well that most idiots choose to post anonymously.
