   	Well I am 85 and took up the Commmodore 64 in my 50s, never had   
   any Computer Science classes and am physically challenged due to several   
   conditions.  What I see is nothing like the future we hoped for as   
   fossil fuel use messed up the Global Cllimate and Exxon sat on that   
   report for quite a while.

   	I do! Carrying my laundry to the machine the building   
   basement exhausts me but I do it multiple times every month.

   Pinnerite wants to read linux files from a Windows installation.   
   Tell him how to do it.  Ah I see that you did that with 7Zip   
   which can recognize and read ext4 files.

   	Enjoyment exhausts me.  Holding up a book to read   
   it is exhausting though i get more pleasure from reading   
   than any other source.

   	Congratulations.  I can barely keep up with my email but I manage to   
   keep my machine updated.  I hope to update my more powerful   
   6540 sometime this year.  But I am tasked with removing my late room   
   mates's leftover clothing and books this year as well.  Sometimes   
   friends give me things and I hope for a Ryzen with 6 or 8 cores.
