I don't know if I am old enough to speak like an old man (I think "no") and no, I never seen the World War 2nd.
My sentence was mainly ironic, but there is a little truth in it. One does not become old in one step - there is a whole life in between. But, step by step, we all approach a different style of thinking. So, my thought is no more the same as when I was 20. If I was 20, I would think "Wow! This new email client strips off the signature, along with advertising!". Now, I think "I am really annoyed by libraries, marketing, profits, C sources, investors, banks, insurances, lawyers, bad people, tarballs, dependencies. Why I have to see all this advertising rubbish and all this compiling problems?". The next step will be "Computers are so complicated, and the whole world is so wrong...". At that time, I will be "old". At this time, I am not old enough to hate computers, but I am on the way: I hate javascript and flash graphics in stupid web pages, spamming, advertising and MS Word documents in emails, viruses and trojans, Wi-Fi, and a fair quantity of contemporary music... Sad to say, but the only place where things are not getting worse is this new wind of Linux and free software. I hope that this new wind has fertile lands to invade. Well - this is enough. Sorry for annoying anyone which could read this email. This is not the right place to speak about life. Cheers to everybody (should I sign or not?
