Well, in 2044, my parents will be 100 years old.

I’m more looking forward to 2066. I will turn 100 in the same year as the 1000th anniversary of The Battle of Hastings, when William the Conquerer conquered England.

Not that I expect to actually live to 100.

It’ll be the year of Linux on the desktop.

And I’ll be naked on the front lawn of the nursing home shaking my cane at them. Damn them for coming too late in my life to enjoy them. Get out of my sky! :mad:

I think your maths is correct. I signed on here 15 years ago (In fact I originated the name in 1995).
