Hey, having just turned fifty myself, you are clearly speaking for yourself! May I suggest hanging around a few senior centers to get a little perspective? Really, you're still just a kid (I keep telling myself.)

That is the kind of self-delusion guys over fifty engage in.

"Old" isn't "Geezer" since we still have bowel control and turn off the element before the water boils dry.

Of course, when I say that, I am speaking for myself. I wouldn't speculate as to your control.

Well, I'm still in good enough shape that it's not even a topic of conversation (yet). Man, you really need better benchmarks...

Forgive me.

The decline can be sudden.
It helps to have low standards.

You obviously haven't discovered flax seed oil.

It sounds like quite a few of us recently turned 50 . Maybe we need an additional subject on this forum. Should it be "ergonomics" or just "geriatrics" ?

Yeah.

It can get to a fellow - the carpal tunnel syndrome - shovelling in all that gruel.

Just to let you know...mac can handle 3 displays. You just need 2nd graphic card and then it works perfect. I have plan on my main display, navigator on the left display and 3D model + all those nifty palettes on my right display. It's really cool

Thank you.

Be still [not totally still - regular] my thumping heart. Since I abandoned the original card to put in the two-slot card for the 30" display, it is getting dusty - its antistatic bag is, anyways. ooo baby.

now.... what to get?
